Vegan Cinnamon Rolls Recipe: ingredients, preparation, and variations
Ingredients
The ingredients for vegan cinnamon rolls are basically the same as those in a traditional recipe with a few exceptions. You'll have to substitute the eggs (a flax egg is a great choice) and swap the butter for a vegan alternative of your choice. Then use a nut milk to prepare the sugary glaze and you'll be all set.
How to prepare cinnamon rolls
Cinnamon rolls need to rise twice, something that discourages some people from making this delectable treat. However, having patience is key. Allowing the dough to rest and double in size will ensure fluffy, delicious cinnamon rolls you won't be able to resist.
For some, the trickest part of the entire process is rolling the cinnamon rolls. It's a rather simple technique: roll out the dough into a large rectangle, coat with melted oil or vegan butter, sprinkle with a mix of cinnamon sugar, roll tightly then cut into pieces.
Here is a fabulous video from Tasty that illustrates how to prepare vegan cinnamon rolls using yeast:
