Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Filling Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegan butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready to bake the cinnamon rolls perfectly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together to distribute everything evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract into the dry mix. Stir until the dough forms a smooth, consistent batter without lumps.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough out into a rectangular shape, large enough to spread the filling evenly.
- Spread Vegan Butter: Evenly spread the vegan butter over the surface of the rolled-out dough, ensuring complete coverage for a moist and flavorful filling.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the brown sugar and ground cinnamon mixture evenly over the buttered dough to create that classic cinnamon roll flavor.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, then cut the rolled dough into evenly sized slices, each forming a cinnamon roll.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the sliced rolls in a baking dish, making sure to leave a little space between them to allow for expansion while baking.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool slightly before serving to enjoy them warm and delicious.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk like oat or soy milk.
- For extra gooeyness, drizzle a simple glaze of powdered sugar and almond milk on top after baking.
- Ensure your baking powder is fresh for proper dough rise.
- If you prefer softer rolls, cover them with foil during the first half of baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for 5 days.
