Ingredients

• 420 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 50 grams Cane sugar
• 5 grams Salt
• 240 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
• 60 milliliters Coconut oil, melted
• 15 grams Ground cinnamon
• 120 grams Brown sugar
• 10 grams Potato starch
• 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
• 20 grams Coconut sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, warm the almond milk until lukewarm (approximately 100°F or 38°C), then transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the almond milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until foamy.

Step 3

Add 50 grams of cane sugar, 60 milliliters of melted coconut oil, and 5 grams of salt to the yeast mixture and combine thoroughly.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour (420 grams) to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough begins to form.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the kneaded dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 7

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and potato starch in a small bowl.

Step 8

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle, roughly 12x16 inches in size.

Step 9

Brush the surface of the dough with melted coconut oil, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over it.

Step 10

Starting from one of the longer edges, tightly roll up the dough into a cylinder and pinch the seam to seal.

Step 11

Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place each piece, cut side up, in a greased muffin tin or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 12

Cover the buns with a kitchen towel and let rise again for about 30 minutes.

Step 13

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 14

Once the buns have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 15

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 16

In a small bowl, mix the coconut sugar with a small amount of ground cinnamon, then sprinkle this over the warm buns before serving.
