What is Almond flour?
This high protein flour is the easiest to substitute for regular flour. Some folks have allergies, so I don’t use it in my recipes, but certainly can. Just make sure that the almonds have been blanched and skin removed and that they are very finely milled.
What is Psyllium seed husks (ground)?
Psyllium husk powder promotes digestive regularity and helps reduce appetite and improve blood sugar balance. It also helps gluten-free bread rise and feels more like ‘real’ bread. Please Note: Never use the whole husk. Make sure you are using Psyllium husk powder, which absorbs more moisture. If you use the husks, you will have too much liquid. You can also use a coffee grinder to create your own powder if needed.
Can Inulin powder replace refined sugar?
Inulin powder is another alternative to replacing sugar in baking. It’s one of those ingredients with multiple benefits. In fact, it’s a natural sweetener that is healthier than refined sugar. Resistant starch feeds the good bacteria in your gut, potentially improving overall gut health and promoting healthy digestion.

Tips
- With any yeast dough, be sure the water/milk is warm. If the liquid is too hot it will kill the yeast – too cold the yeast will not activate. To test, run the liquid over a finger – if it feels nice and warm – it’s usually good.
- Use Room-Temperature Ingredients. Yeast warm environments, so using eggs and butter at room temperature will keep the dough at the optimal temperature for yeast to thrive.
- Whatever you do – DO NOT Overwork the dough: To tell when the dough is ready… when properly mixed it’s pulling away from the sides of the bowl and it’s tacky, but not sticky.
- Use a clean, oiled bowl for rising. Oiling the bowl makes it easier to remove after rising and also allows the dough to rise higher as it won’t be sticking to the sides.
- You don’t need to keep a 1-inch apart if you want to make it like a pull-apart and place it together in a ring making sure the sealed end is up against the other cinnamon rolls; so the ends will not unravel.
