Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup warm plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons natural cinnamon flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter, softened

Frosting Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the plant-based milk to lukewarm and stir in the active dry yeast with a pinch of sugar. Let it bloom for 5-7 minutes until frothy. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and natural gelling agent. Add melted plant-based butter and apple cider vinegar, then pour in the yeast mixture. Knead by hand or with a stand mixer for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Let the Dough Rise: Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and place in a warm area. Allow it to rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size, ensuring a soft and airy texture.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Mix brown sugar, natural cinnamon flavoring, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) in a small bowl. Spread the softened plant-based butter evenly over the rolled-out dough and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
  4. Roll and Cut: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll it into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Evenly spread the filling mixture, then roll tightly from the long side into a log. Cut into 8 even pieces using a sharp knife.
  5. Second Rise and Bake: Place rolls in a greased baking pan leaving space between each. Cover lightly and allow to rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
  6. Frosting the Rolls: While baking, mix softened plant-based butter with powdered sugar and natural vanilla extract. Spread frosting generously over warm cinnamon rolls right after baking to melt over each swirl.

Notes

  • Measure ingredients precisely to ensure ideal dough consistency.
  • Use warm plant-based milk and melted butter for better yeast activation and fluffier rolls.
  • Allow dough to fully rise and double in size for maximum softness.
  • Roll dough firmly but gently to keep air in and filling intact.
  • Brush rolls lightly with plant-based butter before baking to maintain moisture and a golden top.
