Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 3.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar (for filling)
• 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons Dairy-free buttery spread
• 0.5 cup Pecans (optional, chopped for topping)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (for topping)
• 4 tablespoons Dairy-free buttery spread (for topping)
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Warm the almond milk to about 100°F (lukewarm). Stir in the melted coconut oil and granulated sugar until combined. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5–7 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with 3 cups of all-purpose flour and the salt. Mix until a dough forms. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of flour if the dough is too sticky.

Step 3

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 4

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by combining the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt the dairy-free buttery spread and set it aside.

Step 5

Prepare the sticky topping by combining the brown sugar, melted dairy-free buttery spread, and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until smooth, then pour the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the topping if using.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle approximately 16x12 inches.

Step 7

Brush the surface of the dough with the melted dairy-free buttery spread for the filling, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.

Step 8

Starting from the longer side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.

Step 9

Place the buns cut-side up into the prepared baking dish on top of the sticky topping. Cover the dish with a towel and let the buns rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 11

Bake the sticky buns for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Let the buns cool for 5–10 minutes, then carefully invert the baking dish onto a serving platter to release the sticky topping. Serve warm and enjoy!
