Ingredients

Scale

2 teaspoons instant yeast

1 cup almond milk (277g) (or any plant-based milk)

1 tablespoon cane sugar

3 cups (384g) all-purpose flour

Pinch of salt

3 tablespoons vegan butter

1 mashed ripe banana

3 tablespoons melted vegan butter (or almond butter)

1/4 cup cane sugar

3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoons ground nutmeg

2 tablespoons melted vegan butter for brushing

Icing: 

1 cup (130g) powdered sugar

2-4 tablespoons almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 

Instructions

  1. Heat the almond milk in a saucepan until it is warm, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat and let cool to 110°F (43°C). It should be warm but not too hot, then add yeast and 1 tbsp. of sugar and stir everything together. Let activate for 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, mashed banana, salt, and 3 tablespoons of vegan butter. Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and stir everything until combined - the mixture will be sticky. 
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roughly knead with your hands for about a minute or so until it forms a loose ball. (Sprinkle with more flour if needed, and do not over-knead the dough).
  4. Rinse out your mixing bowl or grab a new one and coat it with avocado oil or olive oil spray. Add your dough ball to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, then set it in a warm place to rise until it doubles in size (about 1 hour). 
  5. Lightly flour a surface and put the dough on it. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin into a thin rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. 
  6. In a small bowl, combine your cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Spread 3 tablespoons of melted vegan butter onto the surface of the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top. 
  7. Starting at one end, tightly roll up the dough and make sure the seam-side is on the bottom. Cut the dough into 1.5-2 inch sections (you should have 10 cinnamon rolls). 
  8. Coat the surface of an 8x8 inch square pan - or one of comparable size - with vegan butter. Place cinnamon rolls in the pan and brush the surface of them with some more butter.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C). Set the pan on top of the oven to let the dough rise again while the oven is preheating. 
  10. Once heated, bake your cinnamon rolls for about 25-30 minutes or until slightly golden brown. 
  11. To make the icing, mix your powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond milk in a small bowl. 
  12. Let the cinnamon rolls cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the icing on top and dig in!
