Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegan butter, to coat the foil pan
2 cups almond milk, at room temperature
½ cup vegan butter, melted
¼ cup organic sugar
1 packet active dry yeast
5 ½ cups flour, divided
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup vegan butter
¾ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons almond milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Generously rub two disposable foil pie pans with vegan butter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, melted butter, and sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (37-43˚C). If it is hotter, allow to cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let set for 1 minute.
  • Add 5 cups flour and 1 teaspoon of salt to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  • Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size.
  • Remove the towel and add an additional ½ cup (95g) of flour and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
  • Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½-inch (1 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
  • Spread the softened vegan butter evenly over the dough.
  • Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Roll up the dough, forming a log, and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down. Trim off any unevenness on either end.
  • Cut the log in half, then divide each half into 7 evenly sized pieces. About 1½ inches (8 cm) thick each.
  • Place 7 cinnamon rolls in each cake pan, one in the center, six around the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
  • To prepare the frosting. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Remove plastic wrap. Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven at 350˚F (180˚C) for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  • While still warm, drizzle evenly with frosting.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Tori Farbisz

Categories     100+ Everyday Cooking Recipes     Vegan     Breakfast and Brunch

Time 2h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup soy milk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees F/40 to 45 degrees C)
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
5 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup soy yogurt
¼ cup vegan butter (such as Earth Balance®), melted
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
nonstick cooking spray
2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
¾ cup vegan butter (such as Earth Balance®), melted
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
¼ cup vegan cream cheese substitute (such as Tofutti™)
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons soy milk

Steps:

  • Combine soy milk with apple cider vinegar; let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Combine water, sugar, and yeast for dough in a food processor fitted with the metal blade; pulse 4 times or until just combined. Remove the blade, scraping yeast mixture into the bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Insert the short plastic dough blade. Add 1/2 cup of the flour and process for 2 minutes. Add 4 more cups flour, mashed potatoes, soy milk-vinegar mixture, sugar, soy yogurt, melted vegan butter, orange zest, salt, and baking soda; process for 2 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup flour and process until a dough forms and comes together to hold its shape, about 2 more minutes.
  • Transfer dough to a well-greased bowl; turn to coat all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, mix brown sugar, pecans, vegan butter, and cinnamon for filling together in a bowl. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 10x18-inch rectangle. Spread evenly with filling, leaving a 1-inch border around the top and bottom. Starting at one of the long sides, roll dough jelly-roll fashion. Cut into 12 equal slices and arrange in the prepared baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes. Remove rolls from the oven and invert onto a baking sheet. Invert again onto a serving platter and let cool, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • While the rolls are cooling, beat cream cheese substitute until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and soy milk until smooth.
  • Spread glaze on rolls. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • To make the cinnamon filling, be sure to use a generous amount of cinnamon sugar. This will give the rolls their signature flavor.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
  • Be sure to let the rolls rise for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help them to be light and fluffy.
  • To make sure the rolls are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, the rolls are done.

Conclusion:

These vegan cinnamon rolls are the perfect way to start your day or enjoy as a special treat. They are soft, fluffy, and full of flavor. Plus, they are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are craving a sweet and satisfying snack, give these vegan cinnamon rolls a try. You won't be disappointed!
