Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 0.75 cup warm water
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup almond milk
• 2 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar mixture

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir lightly and let sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add coconut oil, salt, vanilla extract, remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 cup of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining cup of flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface.

Step 8

Brush the rolled dough with almond milk, leaving about half an inch border dry.

Step 9

Mix ground cinnamon and brown sugar together, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the almond milk-brushed surface.

Step 10

Fold the dough in half lengthwise, then use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut strips approximately 1 inch wide.

Step 11

Gently twist each strip several times and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Lightly brush each twist with a little more almond milk, and then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm. Enjoy your delightful dairy-free cinnamon twists!
