There’s something magical about the aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls filling the kitchen. These Vegan Cinnamon Rolls are soft, fluffy, and impossibly rich, without a single drop of dairy or eggs. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy weekend treat, they prove that plant-based baking can be just as indulgent and comforting as the classic version. Whether you’re vegan, lactose-intolerant, or just love good food, this recipe delivers pure cinnamon-swirled joy.

Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast

  • 1 cup warm almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • ¼ cup vegan butter, melted

  • ½ tsp salt

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 2 ½ tbsp ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup vegan butter, softened

For the Icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 2 tbsp almond milk

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Method

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm your plant-based milk and vegan butter until just melted. Add sugar and yeast, letting it sit until frothy. Slowly mix in the flour and a pinch of salt to form a soft dough.

  2. First Rise: Place the dough in a warm area, covered, and let it double in size — about an hour.

  3. Make the Filling: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon.

  4. Roll and Fill: Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread melted vegan butter across and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

  5. Shape: Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into equal pieces.

  6. Second Rise: Let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes, filling your kitchen with the promise of something wonderful.

  7. Bake: Bake until golden and puffed.

  8. Glaze: Drizzle a sweet glaze over warm rolls and let it ooze into every swirl.

Tips for Success

  • Don’t Overheat the Milk: Too hot and it can kill the yeast. Aim for warm, not boiling.

  • Use Soft Vegan Butter: Easier to spread evenly for that irresistible filling.

  • Be Gentle When Rolling: Keep the dough airy to ensure a soft, fluffy texture.

Make It Your Own

  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for a crunchy twist.

  • Swap the glaze for vegan cream cheese frosting for a decadent upgrade.

  • Infuse the glaze with a little vanilla or maple syrup for extra depth.
