Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix melted coconut oil, honey, and milk until smooth. Pour into the dry mixture to create sticky dough.
  4. Knead the dough for about 30 seconds on a floured surface, then roll out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Melt another tablespoon of coconut oil, mix with cinnamon, and spread evenly over the rolled dough.
  6. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 8 equal sections. Place cut-side up in a greased baking dish.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown on top.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm.
