I have been so excited about the feedback and inspiration that the caramel pecan sticky buns have generated, that I decided that we need one more take at these… something hazelnut – something chocolatey. You know where I am going, don’t you?
Comments from Instagram and Facebook have been streaming in letting me know that you all are LOVING these sweet treats, and that is fantastic – I love knowing what you love!

Taking a look at the kitchen forecast for next month, I am going to begin a whole month of delicious savory dishes to balance out our sweet teeth a bit (I know, I know), but I promise it will be delicious, taste bud teasing, and a lot of fun.
We have gluten free vegan pizza coming up, tofu scrambles, and other yummy recipes that I am excited about sharing.
Until then, here is another sticky bun for you, using Bob’s Red Mill products, as we have been doing all month. A completely satisfying product in terms of reliable results.
Chocolatey hazelnut sticky buns.
I know. Sounds phenomenal right?
Look at them…

With all of the craze about Nutella and that hazelnut-chocolatey goodness, I thought I would share with you a gluten free and vegan sticky bun that is the best of both worlds!
I say chocolate and hazelnut belong together now – I am a believer!
I have sub’ed out the chocolate for carob, which tastes the same essentially, but chocolate is just as fantastic.
They are so rich and decadent – Just flawless gluten free goodness.
