Ingredients

Cinnamon Rolls:

  • 3/4 cup warm-hot water
  • 1/4 cup aquafaba (chickpea brine, (or use room temp non dairy yogurt or 1/4 cup coconut milk + 1.5 tbsp flax meal. Though the rolls do best with aquafaba))
  • 1 tbsp sugar or other sweetener
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 packet active yeast (or 2 1/2 tsp active yeast)
  • 2 tbsp oil (or use melted vegan butter. I usually use oil)
  • 1 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)
  • 2.5 cups or more flour (I use unbleached white or a combination of white and wheat flour)
  • 1/3 tsp salt

Filling:

  • 1 to 2 tbsp Oil (or melted vegan butter)
  • 1/3 cup or more coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 2 to 3 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Add some cardamom or nutmeg for variation

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180ºc. Line a 8 by 8 inch brownie pan or 9 inch pie pan with parchment. Mix the first 5 ingredients under rolls until the sugar is mixed in. Let sit for a minute for the yeast to activate.
  2. Add in the oil, yeast and mix in. Add 2 cups flour and salt and knead. Add more flour, few tbsps at a time to make a soft somewhat smooth dough. 4 to 6 mins.
  3. Roll the dough out using additional flour into a 10 by 14 inch rectangle
  4. Spray or brush oil or vegan butter on the rolled out dough. (use as much melted vegan butter as you like:)).Sprinkle sugar, cinnamon and salt evenly. Roll the dough tightly along the longer edge to make a cylinder.
  5. Slice using a pizza cutter or floss or a serrated knife. Place the slices in a parchment lined brownie baking pan or pie pan. Spray or brush oil on top. Cover lightly with a towel and Let the pan sit near the warm oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until just about doubled. Remove the towel.
  6. Bake at 350f / 180ºc for 21 to 23 minutes or until golden on some edges.(just about starting to get golden)
  7. Let the rolls sit for a few minutes, while you make the icing or frosting of choice. Frost and serve.
