Notes

This cinnamon roll is best served warm and fresh. You can top it with a drizzle of your favorite nut butter or a dollop of whipped coconut cream for added richness. If you have leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for a day. To reheat, simply microwave for a few seconds until warmed through.
