Ingredients

  • Gluten-free all-purpose flour - 200 grams
  • Granulated sugar - 50 grams
  • Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
  • Unsweetened almond milk - 100 ml
  • Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  5. Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 20 cm long, then twist two ropes together to form a spiral shape.
