It is strawberry season. Oregon has some pretty amazing strawberries, so when this short season starts, you can bet we take FULL advantage of all the luscious red berries.
I wanted to create a series of recipes using one of our favorite berries, but I also wanted to cross some recipes on my Pinterest Boards as ‘tried” (yes, I actually try almost all the recipes I pin!). Like any person who strives for efficiency, I decided to put these two tasks together. Why not take a recipe I wanted to try and turn it on its head a bit to feature my key ingredient? So that is what I did!
In my strawberry baking frenzy, i took loads of pictures and tasted lots of goodness. But you know what? As beautiful as strawberries are, I did not love any of the pictures I took for any of my strawberry posts!! GRRR!!! I debated, but decided posting these recipe was worth it, and that a picture could always be changed!
Today’s recipe started as a cinnamon roll from The Urban Poser. Have you ever had the pleasure of perusing her recipes? So much deliciousness, and her pictures? Ahh..gorgeous! So thank you Jennie, for all the deliciousness you share with us!
Only the filling has changed in this recipe. Definitely not your traditional cinnamon roll! Full of sweet-tart flavor and caramel undertones from the coconut nectar, these are quite delicious!
Follow The Urban Poser’s recipe and change only the filling! For an egg free option, I think about 2 tablespoons psyllium, husk powder mixed in with the dry would work, although I have not tried this yet…next batch!
For added orange goodness, I did add orange zest to the dough too. It is a very easy dough to handle, but moist and breakable unlike typical yeasted gluten breads.
Once you have rolled out the dough:
Filling:
1/3-1/2 cup coconut nectar
2 cup diced strawberries
Zest of one orange
4 tablespoons almond flour (this absorbs some of the liquid released by the strawberries)
Roll and bake as directed. Top with a drizzle of warmed coconut butter.…heaven!

When her third child was born with severe food allergies, Tessa took to the kitchen to figure out how to feed her family well. Always up for a culinary challenge, their journey has taken many twists and turns! Lots of Paleo, and lots of top 8 free. Good food for families, that's what she's about!
Hi Tessa, These strawberry orange breakfast rolls look decadent and so delicious! I have to make them soon!
Thank you Shelley and Caralyn!! Hope you get to try them!!
wow, Tessa! those look incredible! i love the fresh strawberries in it! yum! thanks for sharing!
Hey Tessa,
Your pictures are great and that first one…winner!! Really nice lighting. You know food doesn’t have to look perfect to taste out of this world. I think we get stuck on the food having to look immaculate with everything in its place and all fancy. But I get it, I didn’t like the photos of my lasagna (hate taking pics at night), but you get those posts once in a while…but they must be published.
So this recipe is awesome. You most certainly joined the best of both words, and what a fun twist on cinnamon rolls. That coconut butter topping looks divine.
Great job, Tessa! Love these.
I want to try these too!! Look so yumm!!
Wow I bet these disappeared quickly! Looks yummy.
That looks truly amazing. Perfect for the summer months when strawberries are in abundance!

Oh my goodness, these look delicious. That coconut nectar alone has my mouth watering. And I just happen to have strawberries right now!! Hmmm… thanks so much for making me extra hungry right now
Thanks for sharing on GAPS Friendly Fridays! These look so yummy. I wish I had some right now.
Wow, I saw this on the Gluten-Free Wednesdays hop and they look wonderful. I popped over to check out The Urban Poser – what a gorgeous site, just as you said! Thanks for sharing! Blessings, Kelly
Thanks for linking with Kids in the Kitchen! this one is great – pinned!!!
Tessa, really…don’t worry about your photos. They show exactly what it looks like and that is authentic. Then, when I’m baking I know exactly what to expect mine should look like ☺ Thanks for sharing this tasty recipe. I have a strawberry patch, but even with fencing and straw, some type of critter keeps nibbling on them
The store strawberries leave a lot to be desired, but I may just have to give in an get me a few pints just to give this and your pie a try!
I will definitely be pinning this recipe as i have a friend who doesnt eat many grains and im sure she would love these. thanks so much, found you through the whats cooking blog carnival. Blessings!
These look absolutely delicious! I must try these!
My mouth was watering by the second paragraph! Love the images too!
Hi Tessa,

What a lovely, seasonal recipe, Tessa, and I think your photographs look just fine! I’d enjoy these rolls for breakfast anytime!

Oh my, those look good! I love coconut nectar, and the strawberry orange combination sounds great.
Ooh, what a nice twist on cinnamon rolls. I’m looking forward to making these.
These are lovely! We love the combination of strawberries and oranges, what a great flavor profile! Using in-season fruit guarantees this recipe to be a success. Great job!
thanks Melaina, I certainly love the combo! Thanks for stopping by and saying hello!
Oh, Urban Poser is one of my favorite blogs, you should try the snickerdoodles as well! Out of curiosity, have you tried this recipe with the psyllium/egg sub yet? I’d so love to be able to make this… cinnamon rolls used to be my favorites! Hahaha thank you
not yet, but I have promised my kiddos cinnamon rolls, so will give it a go!! I have used it in other baked good with great success, so fingers crossed! he Urban Poser is a great blog, I agree April!
Did you ever try them with the psyllium husk? Just wondering !
Not yet Sierra….but will! I have had lots of success with psyllium, but still learning its nuances….
