Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm plant-based milk (such as almond or soy)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Filling:
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup vegan butter, softened
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons plant-based milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Dissolve Yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm plant-based milk with 1 tablespoon sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, cinnamon, and remaining sugar. Add the yeast mixture and melted vegan butter, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Rise Dough: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll and Fill: Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle. Spread softened vegan butter evenly over dough. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling and sprinkle evenly on top. Roll the dough tightly, cut into 12 rolls, and place in a baking pan.
- Bake: Cover rolls and let rise for 20 minutes. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
- Make Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, plant-based milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Use coconut sugar or maple syrup in place of granulated sugar for a different sweetness profile.
- For extra flavor, add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling.
