Ingredients

cinnamon rolls

• 2½ cup self rising flour + more for dusting organic if possible
• 2 tbsp organic cane sugar
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp vegan butter melted
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

filling

• 2 tbsp vegan butter melted
• ¼ cup organic brown sugar packed
• ½ tbsp cinnamon

glaze

• ¾ cup organic powdered sugar sifted
• 1½ tbsp almond milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 F° and prepare a baking dish with parchment paper or non-stick spray. 

  In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt and sweetener. In another bowl, stir together the melted butter, almond milk and vanilla.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and use a rubber spatula to stir until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a clean floured surface, dust with more flour and knead (adding flour as needed) until dough is smooth, about 10 times.

  Dust a rolling pin with flour and roll dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch in thickness.
• In a bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mix. Roll dough up (lengthwise) and cut into 12 even pieces. Transfer to the baking dish, brush with melted butter and bake for 15-20 minutes or until edges puff and are golden brown. 
• Whisk together the glaze ingredients and drizzle over rolls.

Notes

These cinnamon rolls are best if enjoyed immediately. 

For larger rolls, cut into 6 pieces.
