Fall is in the air, and the scent of cinnamon should be too. These Easy Vegan Cinnamon Rolls are great for warming your kitchen and making it smell like cinnamon. They take about an hour to make and do not require yeast so less time letting the dough rest. That means the sooner you get to eat them and just look how delicious they are.

I start by making the dough. It only needs to rest for 10 - 15 minutes, and during that time, I prepare the filling and the cinnamon icing while the oven heats up.

After the dough rests for a little bit, you need to roll the dough. I do not own a rolling pin, so if you don't either, no worries. I used a combination of my hands and my measuring cup to create an even layer ready for the filling. Though a rolling pin would make it easier. Once rolled, I add the melted vegan butter. I prefer the Mykonos brand. Then I add almost all of the sugar and cinnamon mix saving a little bit to top the rolls before they go into the oven.

I roll the dough from the short end so there are more layers to the rolls, but if you roll the long ways it should work as well. After it bakes for 25 - 30 minutes, top with icing and let it melt on there a little bit. Then enjoy them.

Easy, Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

Yield: 7 servings

Prep time: 30 minutes

Total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

For the dough:

All purpose flour | 2 cups

Baking Powder | 1 tbsp

Salt | .5 tsp

Vegan butter | .5 cup cut into slices

Almond milk | .5 cup + 2 tbsp

For the filling:

Vegan butter | 3 tbsp melted

Brown sugar | .75 cup

Cinnamon | 2 tsps

For the icing:

Powdered sugar | 1.25 cups

Vegan butter | 2 tbsp

Vanilla extract | 1 heaping tsp

Almond milk | 1 tbsp

Cinnamon | 1 tsp

Directions

1. Start by making the dough. Mix dry ingredients together. Then add the cold, sliced butter, and mix until the clumps start to mix in. Then add almond milk and knead together until all dry ingredients are mixed into the dough. Let rest for 10 - 15 minutes.

2. Then make the filling by mixing sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. I set aside the butter and wait to melt until the dough is ready.

3. Preheat the oven to 400 and grease a small pan. I used a round cake pan with coconut oil but a little bit of the vegan butter would work too.

4. Make the icing by mixing all ingredients together and set aside.

5. Once 10 - 15 minutes have passed, use parchment paper and a little it of flour to roll the dough into a thin even layer.

6. Melt the butter for 30 seconds and spread evenly across the rolled dough. Then use about 3/4 of the sugar mixture and pour into the butter.

7. Roll the dough starting with the short side and cut into however many rolls you want. Mine usually makes 7.

8. Add them to the baking dish and top with the remaining brown sugar.

9. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until a toothpick goes through clean and until your desired crunchy-ness on the outside layer.

10. Top with icing and let cool.

11. Enjoy!
