Raw Cinnamon Rolls

Besides an explosion of colorful leaves, cooler days and darker nights, cute boots and sweaters coming out to play once more, and all things pumpkin, fall time is also about cozy mornings spent with a warm mug of tea (or cold-pressed coffee), and a (raw) pastry. This cinnamon roll recipe by Iselin Stoylen of Vegetarian Taste is really very easy to make and doesn’t even require a dehydrator. They turn out gooey, cinnamon-ey and delicious and don’t have a stitch of sugar or gluten in them. Enjoy!
