Ingredients

  • 4 flour tortillas (whole wheat or regular tortillas, use gluten-free if needed)
  • 8 tablespoons cream cheese (dairy-free, divided)
  • 4 teaspoons brown sugar (divided)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (divided)
  • 30 gr (1.06 oz) dark chocolate (or chocolate chips)
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Spread cream cheese: Start by taking one flour tortilla and spreading a layer of cream cheese on it (2 heaping tablespoons on each tortilla).

  2. 2

    Add cinnamon and sugar: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over cream cheese spread.

  3. 3

    Repeat and stack: Place another tortilla on top and repeat the process with an even layer of cream cheese, sugar, and cinnamon.

  4. 4

    Roll and slice: Roll stacked tortillas tightly into a log shape then slice them into pinwheels approximately 1.2 inches (3 cm) thick. Repeat the same process with the remaining two tortillas.

  5. 5

    Bake: Place the pinwheels on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or pan and bake at 338°F (170°C) for 7-8 minutes, just until they achieve a light golden brown color. Be cautious not to overbake to prevent unrolling and maintaining their shape.

  6. 6

    Drizzle with melted chocolate: Once out of the oven, enhance the sweetness by drizzling with melted chocolate or chocolate syrup. Melt chocolate with coconut oil by combining them in a microwave-safe bowl or on a stovetop using low heat. Stir until smooth.Serve these mini cinnamon rolls with chopped fresh fruit or a scoop of ice cream. Enjoy!
