No-Knead Oat, Nut & Seed Rolls with Dried Cranberries

I’m completely obsessed with these easy oat breakfast (or snack) rolls. They take a few minutes to make and are so yummy, I can’t stop eating them. No yeast required and just a small handful of nourishing ingredients. My No-Knead Oat, Nut & Seed Rolls with Dried Cranberries are gluten free and provide fiber from the oats, pecans, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries. They get a nice kick of flavor from the honey and orange zest. Nibble on one as you sip your morning cup of tea or coffee. You can thank me later!

No-Knead Oat, Nut & Seed Rolls with Dried Cranberries
 
Author: 
Cuisine: Breakfast
I make these rolls every week. I love them with breakfast, snack on them, and serve 'em with salads. So versatile and simple to make. And of course, I appreciate the fiber, healthy fats, and slightly sweet flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ generous teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons chopped pecans
  • 3 tablespoons roasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
  • 3 tablespoons dried cranberries or tart cherries
  • 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt (not Greek style)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Place the oats in a blender or mini food processor and blend into a flour texture.
  3. Place in a bowl with the baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine. Stir in the nuts, seeds, and dried fruit until combined.
  4. Stir in the yogurt, honey, and orange zest until a dough forms. Let rest 10 minutes.
  5. Use a ¼-cup cookie scoop to arrange 6 dough balls onto the baking sheet. Bake until the bottoms are golden, 20 to 22 minutes.

No-Knead Oat, Nut & Seed Rolls

 

    1. I did not do the analysis for the rolls. But if I were to do it (I’d use an online free analysis program), I’d analyze for one roll. Enjoy!

  1. These are very close to a (scone) that a local bakery makes. There’s is a little smoother.
    But they are going out of business and I think these will be a great substitute.
    I am an RD in Mississippi and Extension Agent. I am going to put this recipe in my
    April newsletter and of course list Lizz’s Healthy Table as the source.

  2. I plan on making these asap. They sound great!
    Questions
    -have you used walnuts? Would it make a difference vs pecans?
    -could I use fresh frozen cranberries? I can put them in a dehydrator. Have you ever used fresh? I have lots of these. (instead of buying something else)
    -or I could use raisins or currants? I have lots of these also.
    Thanks for your thoughts…

    1. I’d try the pecans for sure. That sounds like a great swap. I have not dehydrated cranberries before so I can’t comment on that, but I also love your idea of using raisins or currants. Enjoy!

    1. I tested the recipe with plain yogurt. If you use Greek, they may turn out dry. If you want to try… I’d suggest adding a tablespoon or two of orange juice.
