Ingredients:

For the Dough:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

  • 1/4 cup vegan butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Activate the Yeast:
    • In a small bowl, mix the warm almond milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Pour in the melted vegan butter and activated yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
    • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. First Rise:
    • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a small bowl, mix together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  5. Roll out the Dough:
    • Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Fill and Roll:
    • Spread the prepared filling evenly over the rolled-out dough.
    • Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
  7. Slice the Rolls:
    • Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the log into 12 equal-sized rolls.
  8. Second Rise:
    • Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll. Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  9. Bake:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Make the Glaze:
    • While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  11. Glaze the Rolls:
    • Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
  12. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Serve the vegan cinnamon rolls warm and enjoy!
