Soft and fluffy vegan cinnamon rolls topped with a creamy dairy-free icing, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup warm almond milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons almond milk (for icing)
- 1 splash vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix warm almond milk with sugar and sprinkle yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the yeast mixture and melted coconut oil to dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread melted coconut oil over the dough, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon, then roll tightly from the long side.
- Slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place in a greased baking dish.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before drizzling with icing made from whisking powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla.
Notes
Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best rise. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
