Ingredients:

• Cinnamon Filling:
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, softened
  • 2/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 3 teaspoons cinnamon
• Maple Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • 250g light cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Method:

1. Prepare your dough according to the instructions provided in the recipe.
2. For the filling, whisk together the softened coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon until it forms a smooth paste.
3. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Evenly spread the cinnamon filling across the dough, adding an extra sprinkle of coconut sugar and cinnamon if desired.
4. Carefully roll the dough away from you to form a long scroll. Slice the scroll into approximately 2 cm thick pieces.
5. In a lined loaf tin, arrange a layer of scroll pieces at the bottom. Add additional layers, placing the pieces sporadically, up to three layers.
6. Cover the tin loosely with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place to rise for 30-40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C).
7. After the rising time, remove the plastic wrap and bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes, or until it has risen, is fluffy, and golden on top.
8. Allow the loaf to cool slightly before frosting. Mix the cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste until smooth and spread over the top of the loaf.
