Description
Soft, sweet vegan cinnamon rolls flavored with pumpkin and warm spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm plant milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar plus 1 teaspoon for yeast
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar for filling
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon for filling
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, softened for filling
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for glaze
- 2 tablespoons plant milk for glaze
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for glaze
Instructions
- Combine warm plant milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup sugar, melted vegan butter, and pumpkin puree into the yeast mixture.
- Gradually add the flour and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled.
- Punch down the dough. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12×18 inch rectangle.
- Spread the softened vegan butter evenly over the dough. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture over the butter.
- Roll the dough tightly lengthwise into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons plant milk, and vanilla extract for the glaze. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Drizzle glaze over warm rolls immediately after removing them from the oven.
Notes
- For a thicker glaze, use less plant milk.
- You can substitute sweet potato puree for pumpkin puree if necessary.
- If your kitchen is cold, place the dough in a turned-off oven with the light on to aid rising.
