Paleo Egg-Free Cinnamon Rolls
These are my favorite paleo cinnamon rolls- and they are egg-free! These delicious paleo cinnamon rolls are made with sweet potato and they have no sugar, so you feel pretty great after eating them. 🙂
By the way I briefed this recipe, you would think it would taste like rubbish haha…
No sugar…
No flour…
No eggs…
No dairy…
what’s left?????
Well, I guess we have sweet potatoes!
Always sweet potatoes 🙂
It’s surprising how yummy these are, but it’s crazy that you don’t need any of these things to make a good cinnamon roll!
Egg free cinnamon rolls… and paleo?
Yup! It’s now a thing!
I usually don’t try to make egg-free paleo recipes, because eggs are kinda important in achieving that fluffy texture in paleo baking, but this one is a win!
Ingredients
Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 medium sweet potato about 8 oz
- 1 cup cassava flour Anthony's Goods Brand
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 2 tablespoons golden milled flax meal mixed with 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Other

- raisins to taste
- frosting see notes for which one I use
Instructions
- Cut sweet potato into cubes, steam until soft, then drain and add to food processor, and puree. Then add rest of ingredients for dough and puree until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 8" pie pan with parchment paper.
- Roll dough out on a floured surface until it's about 1/4" thick. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the dough, generously sprinkle with cinnamon and raisins, then roll up and slice into 1 1/2" thick rolls. Place in pie pan and bake on 350F until golden brown on the outside and the puff up- 35-40 minutes.
- Once the cinnamon rolls have cooked, allow to cool slightly before frosting.

I am so gonna try this!!! Can I use tapioca flour instead of cassava flour?
Hi Magda, tapioca flour will be too gummy, so I would suggest using cassava flour for best results. 🙂
my partner can’t have flax, would this work with an egg instead too?
Hi Rose, that should work!
Is the flax meal ground or just use the whole seed?
Hi Elise, the flax is ground. 🙂
Hi Kaylie, these look great. I f i didn’t have cassava flour, could you suggest or have you subbed other gf flours? What is the texture similar to ? and hydration levels similar to do you think? Thanks / Am right now baking the plum paleo cake! can’t wait to try it.
Hi Michelle, wheat flour is the best sub for cassava, but oat flour might work? I haven’t tried it however.
What would be a good sub for the husk powder? protein powder?
Hi Jamie, the psyllium husk powder is used in place of eggs as a bonding and leavening agent in this recipe, so maybe eggs or flax eggs would be the best sub?
Hi. Can be these be frozen ? Thank you
Yes, they can be frozen! 🙂
