Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the dough
  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 cup almond milk (or other plant-based milk) Warm to lukewarm before use
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the frosting
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk For frosting

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small saucepan, warm the almond milk until it's lukewarm. Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, coconut sugar, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture and melted coconut oil. Knead the dough on a floured surface until it's smooth.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread melted coconut oil on top and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into equal pieces.
  5. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes.
  2. For the frosting, mix powdered sugar with almond milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.

Notes

Dough consistency: If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle in more flour gradually. Make-ahead magic: You can prepare the dough the night before and refrigerate it. Just let it come to room temperature before baking. For a citrus kick, swap out the almond milk with orange juice in the frosting.
