Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with a bit of coconut oil.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs using an electric mixer on high speed until they are pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Gradually add honey while beating at low speed, then mix in vanilla extract and melted coconut oil until well combined.
Gently fold in the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined (do not overmix).
Pour batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula to form a rectangular shape.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when touched.
Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes. While still warm, carefully roll the cake with the parchment paper starting from one short end to form a roll. Let it cool completely in this rolled shape to maintain its structure.
For the filling, heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the gelatin until dissolved, then add maple syrup and mix well. Refrigerate the mixture until it thickens to a spreadable consistency.
Unroll the cooled cake gently and spread the filling evenly over it. Carefully re-roll the cake (without the parchment paper this time).
Place the roll seam-side down on a serving platter. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Slice and serve your Paleo Classic Cream Roll.
