It’s perfect as a healthy snack or dessert. You get all the benefits of a cinnamon roll but you make this one faster, and you don’t get a kilogram of sugar here.

Healthy Vegan Cinnamon Roll Cake

I love cinnamon rolls but “no thanks!” to all the processed sugar and saturated fat I see in traditional recipes. I love this one because it’s:

Healthier than most cinnamon roll recipes I’ve seen.
Super quick and easy to make.
Ingredients are mostly whole foods.
It’s naturally protein rich.

Simple Ingredients

Whole wheat flour
Lupini flour (protein)
Baking powder
Soy milk
Apple cider vinegar
Maple syrup
Brown sugar
Tahini
Vanilla extract
Almond extract

Lupini (or Lupin) is 40% protein, an essential, in my opinion, for healthy baking. This way you don’t use a ton of processed protein powders.

Gluten free? Replace whole wheat flour with GF oat flour.

Nut free: just omit the almond extract to keep it nut free.

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Cake?

You just need a bowl.

Preheat oven to 360 F (182 C).
Mix cake ingredients.
Mix the cinnamon, maple syrup and water in a small bowl.
Add the batter to a small baking pan and add the cinnamon mix.
Bake and enjoy!
Let cool and enjoy...ok ok I did eat some warm cake, it was amazing!

This Cinnamon Roll Cake Is

Oil free
Egg-free
Dairy-free (without butter)
Healthier than most cinnamon roll recipes I’ve seen
Easy to make
Fast to make
