Easy Vegan Cinnamon Rolls
for the frosting
1½tsp espresso powder
1tsphot water
1tbspreal maple syrup
1tspvanilla extract
1 ¼cuppowdered sugar
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, sweetener and salt. 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 the dough with flour and kneed (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.
Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mix. Roll dough up (lengthwise) and cut into 12 even pieces, about 1/2" thick. Transfer to the baking dish, brush with melted vegan butter and bake for 15-20 minutes or until edges puff.
In a bowl, stir together the espresso powder and hot water until completely disolved. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla until combined. Finally add in the powdered sugar and stir until a frosting forms. Spread the frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve.
