- ¼ cup (20g) psyllium husks
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3½ cups (336g) Bob's Red Mill blanched almond flour
- 1 cup (113g) Bob's Red Mill tapioca flour

For the filling
- ¼ cup vegan butter coconut oil, or ghee, softened
- 4 oz. dark chocolate very finely chopped

- Add the psyllium husks to the liquid (you don’t want to do this before or the liquid will become too thick), whisk it in, and immediately add to the dry ingredients.¼ cup (20g) psyllium husks
- Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything together until a loose dough is formed. It will be relatively soft and a little bit sticky, but shouldn’t be overly sticky. If it is, add an extra tablespoon or two of tapioca flour.
- Put down a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap and dust generously with tapioca flour. Place the dough on top.
- Press into a large rectangle and then use a rolling pin to even it out into a rectangle about 12 inches by 8 inches and about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, stir together the ghee or vegan butter, chopped chocolate, and cinnamon if using, until fully combined. Use a small offset spatula to spread all over the dough.¼ cup vegan butter, 4 oz. dark chocolate, ½ teaspoon
- Use the plastic wrap or parchment paper to help roll up the dough lengthwise, keeping it as tightly rolled as possible.
- Gently slice into 10 rolls, then add to oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
