Instructions

In a small bowl mix together flax meal and water and set aside.
In another bowl, stir together warmed milk, yeast and sugar.
Let mixture sit for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly and frothy.
Once yeast is activated, stir in melted coconut oil, flax meal mixture, salt and whole wheat pastry flour. Stir until well combined. Slowly add all-purpose flour ¼ cup at a time. Add flour until dough is soft, but not too sticky. Dough should be easy to work with without sticking to hands.
Add raisins and knead for around 5 minutes in bowl if large enough or on a floured surface.
Once dough is ready, form into a ball, brush top with olive oil and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm area. (I set mine by the fireplace) Let sit for 1 hour or longer if needed. Dough should rise and become airy.
When dough is almost ready, prepare filling ingredients by mixing together melted coconut oil, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Spray and 8" cake pan with cooking spray or lightly oil and set aside.
Once dough has risen, roll out on a floured surface into a 8x12 rectangle. Evenly sprinkle filling mixture onto rectangle. Roll up dough the long way until you have a log shape. Cut into 10 rolls and place in prepared cake pan. Cover cake pan and let dough rise again for another hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Once dough has risen, bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden and firm. Let cool.
To make glaze, whisk together milk, powdered sugar, maple syrup and vanilla.
Drizzle on top of cinnamon rolls.
Serve warm and enjoy :)

Notes

Get the kids involved!

Little hands love to knead! Noah was so excited to see how bread was made! He loved showing off the end product even though these were too sweet for him to eat! (still not sure if he’s my kid!)

These would make a great addition to a brunch :)
