Cinnamon Roll Recipe
These delightful vegan cinnamon rolls are perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat throughout the day. They’re easy to make and require just a few simple ingredients that you probably have on hand!
Ingredients:
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar for icing
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm almond milk, maple syrup, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and melted coconut oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour, or until it’s doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread melted coconut oil over the dough, then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly across the top.
- Carefully roll the dough into a log, and slice it into 12 equal pieces. Place these rolls into a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the rolls are rising.
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly.
- To make the icing, mix powdered sugar with vanilla extract and a splash of almond milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm cinnamon rolls.
