Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 480 ml Oat milk 2 cups
  • 130 g Vegan butter 1/2 cup
  • 50 g Organic raw sugar 1/4 cup
  • 7 g Active dry yeast 1 packet
  • 690 g Plain flour 5 1/2 cups
  • 1 tsp Salt

Filling

  • 170 g Vegan butter 3/4 cup
  • 140 g Organic raw sugar or demerara 3/4 cup
  • 2 tbsp Cinnamon powder

Icing

  • 160 g Icing sugar 1 cup
  • 2 tbsp Oat milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Melt the vegan butter and pour it into a large bowl together with the oat milk and the organic raw sugar. The mixture should be between 37-43°C before proceeding with the next step.
  • Add the dry yeast into the bowl and leave it for 1 minute without combining the yeast. Now mix the warm ingredients.
  • Keep aside around 90g of flour and add the remaining 600 g into the milk mixture. Mix them well with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms.
  • Cover the bowl with a towel or reusable wrap paper and set it in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F).
  • While you are waiting, make the cinnamon butter by stirring the cinnamon, sugar and butter with a spatula. Until come up with a soft and spreadable consistency.
  • Once the dough has doubled in size, add the remaining 95 g of flour and salt.
  • Knead the dough lightly on a well-floured surface, adding flour if necessary until the dough doesn't stick anymore.
  • Roll out into a large rectangle, about 1cm thick, making sure you have fixed and sharp corners.
  • Spread evenly over the rolled dough the cinnamon butter. Add extra cinnamon if you like a more spicy, woody and sweet taste of this spice.
  • Now ready to roll it. Lengthwise start to roll, forming a cylinder and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down and trim the two ends.
  • Rub generously the two trays you are going to use for baking the cinnamon rolls.
  • Start to cut the rolled cinnamon dough by cutting the log in half first and then, using a thread or a sharp knife, slice the dough evenly sized. About 8 cm thick each will be perfect. You should get 14 cinnamon rolls in total.
  • Place 7 vegan cinnamon rolls in each tray, one in the centre and the other six around the sides. Cover with a cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes in a warm place.
  • Prepare the frosting in a small bowl. Mix the icing sugar, valìnilla extract and the oat milk and whisk until smooth.
  • Ready to bake? Remove the cloth from the trays and bake the vegan cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown (or until you can't resist the smell anymore).
  • When ready, take it out from the oven and drizzle the frosting on top, while still warm.
  • Have your coffee or orange juice ready and enjoy your delicious vegan cinnamon rolls.
