Description
These soft and fluffy vegan cinnamon rolls are made with simple pantry ingredients. A dairy-free and egg-free breakfast treat that is easy to make and full of warm spice flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup + 1 tbsp almond milk, warmed
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 6 tbsp coconut oil, melted (divided)
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp dark brown sugar (for dough)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar (for filling)
- 1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp almond milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon of dark brown sugar, instant yeast, and salt until well combined.
- Add 6 tablespoons of melted coconut oil and the warmed almond milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 4-5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for about 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Roll the dough out into a 14×20 inch rectangle and brush with 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil.
- Mix the 1/3 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough up tightly from the short end and cut into 12 equal rolls.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 45 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the rolls for 22-28 minutes until lightly golden brown.
- Whisk the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of almond milk together, then drizzle over the rolls after they have cooled for 15 minutes.
Notes
Ensure your almond milk is warm but not hot (around 110°F) to avoid killing the yeast. You can substitute soy or oat milk if preferred.
