Whether you're vegan, dairy-free, or simply curious, this recipe is about to become a staple in your kitchen. Let's roll!
Ingredients
For the Dough
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water (flax egg)
For the Filling
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup vegan butter, softened
For the Vegan Frosting
- 4 oz vegan cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the flax egg and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm almond milk, melted vegan butter, and the flax egg. Mix and knead until a soft dough forms, about 8 minutes.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until doubled.
- Roll the dough into a 16x12-inch rectangle. Spread softened vegan butter and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll tightly, cut into 12 pieces, and arrange in a greased baking dish.
- Cover and rise for 30-45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Beat the vegan frosting ingredients until smooth and spread over warm rolls.
Chef's Notes & Tips
- Check your sugar: Some granulated sugars are processed with bone char; choose organic or certified vegan sugar to be safe.
- Flax egg power: It binds beautifully, but let it sit long enough to gel properly.
- Room temperature vegan butter: Softened (not melted) butter spreads best for the filling.
- Frosting consistency: Add powdered sugar one spoon at a time until you reach your desired thickness.
These vegan cinnamon rolls prove that compassion and comfort food can live happily on
