Description

Ingredients

• 1 packet (2¼ tsp) dry active yeast
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• ¼ cup warm water
• 6 tbsp dairy free butter (I used Earth Balance)
• 1¼ cup almond milk
• 3¼ cups all purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt
• For the filling:
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ cup brown sugar
• For the glaze:
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp butter
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2-3 tbsp almond milk*

Directions

• Combine yeast, brown sugar and warm water in a bowl; stir and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter and milk together over stovetop on medium heat, stirring pretty consistently. Be careful--you dont want it to be too hot or come anywhere close to a boil. Once butter has melted, add mixture to yeast and stir.
• Combine flour and salt in a separate bowl; add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and use your hands to knead the dough until everything is combined and smooth.
• Line a large bowl with a small amount of coconut oil and then place the dough in the bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and let sit for 1 hour, allowing the dough to rise and double in size.
• While waiting, you can make the filling, which doesnt take long.
• Melt butter and then add cinnamon and brown sugar and stir everything together; set aside. Other things you can do while waiting for the dough to rise include but are not limited to: walking your dog, catching up on emails, watching TV, sitting on Instagram--the possibilities are endless, and the time goes by faster than youd think!
• Once the hour has gone by, preheat the oven to 375°. Next, flour a baking mat and place the dough on the mat. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into a giant rectangle (approx. 15 long and 9 wide), trimming the edges if needed.
• Use a spoon to spread filling overtop of the dough, and then tightly roll up the dough.
• Use a sharp knife to cut dough into 1.5 rolls, and then place the rolls into a large baking dish OR (what I did) was placed them into two greased 10 cake pans, cut side down.
• Brush rolls with a little more melted butter and then bake them for approximately 25 minutes.
• While theyre baking, make the glaze by combining all ingredients in a bowl and stirring with an electric mixer.
• Remove rolls from oven, wait 5 minutes or so, and then drizzle glaze overtop.
• Enjoy!
