Ingredient Highlights for Cinnamon Roll Snack Cake
Oat Flour:
Oat flour adds a tender texture to the cake while providing a good source of fiber. It’s naturally gluten-free and gives the cake a subtle, nutty flavor.
Almond Flour:
Almond flour is rich in healthy fats, protein, and vitamins. It adds a moist and dense texture to the cake, making it both nutritious and delicious.
Coconut Sugar:
Coconut sugar is a natural sweetener with a lower glycemic index compared to regular sugar. It has a rich, caramel-like flavor that complements the cinnamon perfectly.
Maple Syrup:
Maple syrup adds natural sweetness and moisture to the cake. Its unique flavor pairs beautifully with the spices in the recipe.
Coconut Milk or Coconut Yogurt:
Coconut milk or yogurt adds creaminess and moisture to the cake. It’s a great dairy-free alternative that keeps the cake tender and flavorful.
Coconut Oil:
Coconut oil provides a rich, buttery flavor and helps keep the cake moist. It’s a healthier fat option that enhances the overall taste.
Ground Cinnamon:
Cinnamon is the star of this recipe, adding warmth and spice. It has numerous health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants.
Dairy-Free Cream Cheese:
Dairy-free cream cheese makes the glaze creamy and tangy, without the use of traditional dairy products. It’s perfect for those who are lactose intolerant or following a vegan diet.
