These vegan cinnamon rolls are designed to be incredibly soft, fluffy, and delicious, perfect for a cozy breakfast or dessert. Below is a comprehensive recipe that includes ingredients and step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 350 g all-purpose flour
• 30 g brown sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tsp dry active yeast
• 70 g melted coconut oil
• 200 ml plant milk (oat, almond, or soy)
• 70 ml full-fat coconut milk (for glazing)

For the Cinnamon Filling:

• 100 g vegan margarine (or softened vegan butter)
• 50 g brown sugar
• 4 tsp ground cinnamon

Optional Apple Filling:

• 3 apples, peeled and chopped
• 50 g sugar
• Pinch of cardamom, nutmeg, and cloves
• 1 tsp cinnamon

For the Frosting:

• 170 g natural tofu
• 7 tsp coconut milk (from the can)
• 3 tsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp sugar

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, salt, and dry yeast.
• In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil with the plant milk. Combine this mixture with the dry ingredients and knead until you form a sticky dough.
• Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for at least one hour until doubled in size.

Make the Filling:

• In a small bowl, cream together the softened margarine, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.

Roll Out the Dough:

• Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (approximately 40 cm by 30 cm).
• Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.

Shape the Rolls:

• Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Cut into approximately 12 equal pieces using dental floss or a sharp knife.

Second Rise:

• Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving space between each roll. Cover again and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat and Bake:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the tops of the rolls with coconut milk before baking.
• Bake for about 25–30 minutes or until golden brown.

Prepare the Frosting:

• Blend together tofu, coconut milk, lemon juice, and sugar until smooth. Adjust sweetness as desired.

Serve:

• Allow rolls to cool slightly before drizzling with frosting. Enjoy warm!

Tips for Success

• Ensure your plant milk is warm (about 110°F) when mixing with yeast to activate it properly.
• For extra gooeyness, consider adding vegan heavy cream to your filling.
• Experiment with different fillings like jam or chocolate spread for variety.

These soft vegan cinnamon rolls are sure to impress both vegans and non-vegans alike! Enjoy them fresh from the oven with your favorite beverage.
