CINNAMON ROLL CAKE RECIPE
Ingredients:
For the cake:
4 eggs
1/3 cup agave, or maple syrup (80ml)
1/4 cup melted butter (60ml)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups Greek yogurt (340g)
2 cups oat flour, or ground oats (200g)
1 cup spelt or whole wheat flour (130g)
1/4 cup cornstarch (30g)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
For the filling:
1/2 cup date paste (130g)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (130g)
2 tbsp cinnamon powder
For the glaze:
1/2 cup coconut milk (120ml)
1 tbsp agave, or maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
NUTRITIONAL INFO (per serving):
211 calories, fat 6.3g, carb 31.3g, protein 8.7g
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
For the filling, in a small bowl, combine date paste, applesauce and cinnamon powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat eggs with your choice of sweetener (agave or maple syrup). Add melted butter, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt. Whisk until well combined.
In the same bowl add all the dry ingredients: oat flour, spelt flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Gently stir with a whisk until all the flour is incorporated.
Pour the batter into a greased half-sheet pan or a similarly sized baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
Drop small spoonfuls of the prepared cinnamon filling over the cake batter. Using a butter knife, swirl it in to create a marble effect.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, ensuring not to overbake.
Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes. Meanwhile, mix coconut milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract for the glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the cake using a spoon.
Slice into 15 equal pieces and serve. Enjoy!

Sasha, you need to be hired to overhaul the American school lunch program. Actually, to overhaul the ENTIRE American food system! We eat too many bad and processed things with waaaay too much sugar and white flour here. Thanks for helping those of us who desperately want to change the way we eat.
Wow, thanks so much Diana for this wonderful feedback, it means a world to me! Here in Croatia, we're not too far from America, we have bakeries on every street corner, the most crowded restaurant in our time is McDonalds, and kids in our schools eat that same food. Anyway, I'm proud to be a part of the community here on yt who try to spread some idea about better food choices.
Love when desserts approach the 200-250 calorie mark per serving instead of the usual 500-750+. Great version of a cinnamon roll, thanks!
Yeah, I love this channel because he doesn't use fake sugar for "healthy" recipes. He shows that desserts can be less than super high calorie while still using everyday ingredients like maple syrup.
@@randomoneforstuff3696 Agreed😊! Sticking to ingredients made from whole foods just seems better to me. If you want sweet taste, it's better to "pay" for your share of those carbs/calories and use just enough to edge into a sweet flavor. Using artificial sweeteners allows you to use an excess of sweet flavor, making your food hyperpalatable and creating a response to the food that's akin to a drug. The mildly sweet, spiced/floral, high protein, high fiber desserts have become my favorites.
This way you can enjoy your dessert on more levels... Glad you like the recipe!
@@mayonnaiseeeepunishing people with metabolic diseases for enjoying a base flavor is insane. let people use the sweeteners they're comfortable with, you can stick to your liquid sugar.
Another healthy way to use the sheet pan, and being "generous with the cinnamon" is just the way we like it! Thank you, Sasha. This looks lovely, and I'm excited to give it a try this week. Another winner from our ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ UA-cam Creator! 🥰 🌵 😎
A sheet pan does the wonders, one of the best kitchen tools ever, have to get a regular one... What can I say Lauren, you made my day again by sending your five stars type of support, I truly appreciate it. Take care and enjoy your cake!
no way you just uploaded this... was literally looking for Cinnamon Roll recipes on your channel as i speak. Thank you Mr.Chef.
So glad about the timing! I do have cinnamon rolls on my channel for some quite time now, but wanted to make a quick workday version, and I think I did it. It was so so delicious!
@@HowToCookSmarter i made your cinnamon rolls recipe and they turned out fantastic. thank you so much... i love your channel btw.
Hey Sasha I just want to tell you that I really like your recipes. I also want to tell u that considering vegan recipes will be a great help for me and other vegans who also love your recipes
Hi there, thanks so much for your feedback! You know it's not always easy for me to come up with vegan alterantive, you know when the recipe relies on eggs or dairy, but I'll try to always give an option.
You are great Sasha ! Sending you flowers.
I baked so many of your recipes since I found you in December.
More grease to your elbow, no more oats ,
Hi there, I'm so happy my recipes work you and you find them delicious! Thanks for your lovely feedback! Sending back love!
Oh my goodness Sasha, another healthy alternative to one of my favourite treats that I have rarely because they aren't exactly healthy. Fantastic! As ever thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. Take care and have a great week! 👍💖
That's right, this is for all of the cinnamon roll lovers out there, and there are lots of us :) Hope you'll give it a try with this recipe. Thanks for all of your support Hazel! Enjoy your week!
I followed the recipe yesterday and it turned out so good.. I used oats and had to add a cup extra and rhe dough was still really lean. I didn't make the icing, but I poured it with skyr and sprinkled it with cinnamon and xylitol. So good. I made the second one today and instead of yogurt I used kefir and added a lot more applesauce to the cinnamon mass because last time it was too thick and difficult to mix. Hopefully will turn out as good as yesterday..
Don't be afraid of good fat. We need it. It's good for us.
Thank you from my heart (and stomach)❤ You are a genius! Best baker ever!😊
Wow, thanks so much for supporting! Hope you'll make your stomach happy but making this sheet cake for yourself.
This looks so good. Going to make for this weekend football game. It's really raining here in California, USA 🇺🇸 Great with decaf coffee. I cut all sugar as you know, now caffeine. Thanks Sasha. All the best. 🍮
This could be a good one for a game night, I truly enjoyed the cake, happy baking! I also try to get used to caffeine free coffee, chicory coffee, works great so far. Take care!
Yummy!! Cinnamon rolls are my love language, but you are right. It's a lot of work. This looks great!
Exactly, so much easier to enjoy some cinnamon rolls this way... Thanks for your feedback!
I just made this. Yummy!!
Totally going into breakfast rotation🎉.Thanks Sasha ! This is a fantastic recipe!!
Thanks so much Vidya! This not really pretty cake is definitely worth trying, I enjoyed the flavor and the texture so much. Love having a cake for breakfast too :)
Scrumptious
I cannot wait to try this! Another fabulous recipe!
This one was super delicious, it's definitely worth trying! Thanks for all of your support!
Yum! Looks excellent and I agree, I love oats in any baked good! Love and gratitude.
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback, sending back love! Go oats!
Love, love, love this recipe! Love dates!
Me too:) Thanks for your feedback!
Your recipes are great!
Thank you.
Thanks so much for supporting!
This is what I need, healthy options thanks for sharing
Glad you like the recipe!
Oh that looks so good ❤😊 I can’t wait to bake it 😌 thank you so much ! I also love cinnamon rolls !
Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did! I appreciate your support!
Damn delicious cake! ❤
I didn’t use the dates paste filling. I just drizzled on a mixture of 2 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp cinnamon and 2 tbsp jaggery. Then brushed the baked cake with a very thin layer of icing sugar and milk glaze.
Yum yum yum
That's great news, love the idea how you tweaked the recipe! Thanks for sending over your feedback!
Absolutely delicious!!🤗❤
Thanks so much Liz, I appreciate your support as always!
So happy i discovered you!
Hi Angela, it's so great to have you here! Glad you like the recipes, and I would love if you give some a try. Thanks for supporting!
This will be perfect to serve our company for Mardi Gras in New Orleans. As a matter of fact, just tint portions of that glaze purple, green, and gold, and you have a healthier version of "king cake"! Kick it up a notch by sprinkling edible glitter or colored sugar for true Mardi Gras effect. Now I can't wait to try it! Thank you! 🎉💜💚💛👑⚜️
Healthy festive sheet cake, why not... I guess using some natural colors like matcha or beet powder could work too. Happy Mardi Gras!
Just what I was looking for!
So glad you like it!
Yes!!
This looks delicious. I like to have a little sweet treat sometimes and don’t want the calories. Or the sugar this will work fine.
That's right, you can call this cake a sweet treat, even though it's not loaded with sugar, isn't that great :) Thanks for your feedack!
Cool video. Another recommendation from me for a future video: healthy tofu cheesecake with oat crust. I heard that puréed soft tofu can be really creamy
Hi, thanks! You're right, soft tofu is great for making dessert, it''s creamy on its own, definitely a good substitute for cream cheese.
Excited to try this recipe out! If I don't have date paste, are there any other substitutions I could use??
That's great! Well, I would suggest you make this sweet paste out of some other dried fruits, or you can even mix coconut sugar with applesauce if that's an option for you.
What can I replace for the date paste
So can I sub a gluten free 1 to 1 flour for the spelt flour? I can make the oat flour...this looks so delicious
Sure that would be just fine, this sheet pan recipe is pretty forgiving.
❤
I wonder if the butter and applesauce could be switched. Seems like applesauce in the cake and butter in the filling would taste better. I may be wrong! It still looks delicious 😋
You could switch the Butter for ripe Avocado, as for the applesauce maybe Making naturally from fresh apples?
Like the way you think about this recipe, you might be right, the best way to know is to give that a try, I'm on it next time!
Oat flour is my fav but it’s pricey here in Cyprus, whenever i get it i know what channel to check for the recipe 😂❤
What about grinding some rolled oats by yourself, would it be more affordable? Thanks for trusting my recipes!
@@HowToCookSmarter little bit but i find this grinded flour more coarse so the baked good come out rustic
@@CyprusSunLoverShe Yes, it's true, the store-bought flour is more fine, but you can sift it through before adding to the recipe.
this looks amazing! might you have a vegan version of it??😢😢
Hi, thanks! Not really, but you can try with using more applesauce and the egg replacer you prefer.
@@HowToCookSmarter thankss
Ymm😋lovin' the yummy recipe Sasha, definitely trying this out, but spelt flour, from what little I know about this its an ancient grain that is only barely making a comeback, at least here in the Americas, what can we sub for it, in case i can't get it here in Mexico?🤔👍Your videos always make me drool🤤😂😉
I found spelt flour at Whole Foods, but in any event, if you look under the description, it says spelt or whole wheat flour 🎉
@@abroussard1661 good to know, we do have whole wheat flour here. Thank You for your cool comment.🤗
Hi! So glad you like the recipe! You're right spelt flour is getting more popular nowdays, in case you can't get it in Mexico, whole wheat flour, barley, or even corn flour would do the work.
This looks great, though we have anaphylactic allergy here with eggs (ALL nuts and most seeds, gluten too) just wondering if there's any substitute for the eggs (would No Egg replacer, chia, flax or psyllium work?) Or do you think there's too many to replace this time? 😅
Hi Donna! I guess this recipe could work without any eggs inside (no replacer too), because it's a sheet pan cake and it doesn't have to rise, so I would give it a try with extra applesauce and Greek yogurt in place of eggs.
Ok, thanks!
Is it a problem if the dough turns out much leaner?
Hi. Can you tell me a substitute for coconut milk healthy? Nut allergy
Hi! What about Greek yogurt frosting?
Looks great--love cinnamon! Going to try this plant-based as I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the estrogen and possible BLV in dairy and choline and lead in eggs. Thanks so much for sharing
Great! It would be quite easy to make a plant-based version. Happy baking!
Can I bake it without cornstarch I'm allergic
Sure, just add some oat flour instead, that would be fine.
Can I replace the oat spelt flour with the gluten free flour?
Sure, that would work just fine.
@@HowToCookSmarter thanks so much for your responce. I love your recipes ànd I will try them
Wonder if this is ok for diabetics?
There's quite less sugar in classic cinnamon rolls, I guess it can be fine even for dieabetics. By the way, agave and dates are also lower in GI.
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷❤❤❤
Can you back without eggs?
I think that would be fine too, it's a sheet cake, it doesn't have to rise, so you can use any egg replacer you prefer.
What can I use instead of dates? I don't like dates
You can make sweet paste out of any dried fruit you like.
A few crushed ground nuts would add more goodness
Sure, that would be just great!
No sugar 😂😂😂this date paste will spike your blood sugar to high heavens 😱😱😱
are you eating the entire sheet in one sitting by yourself?
Healthy? There’s absolutely nothing healthy about this!!!!! The amount of sugars is off the charts!!!
Are you compared this with a regular cinnamon roll?
