Ingredients

• 240 ml Plant-based milk
• 56 g Vegan butter
• 7 g Active dry yeast
• 50 g Granulated sugar
• 440 g All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Salt
• 100 g Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Ground cinnamon
• 120 g Vegan cream cheese
• 56 g Vegan butter (for filling and frosting)
• 150 g Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Warm 240 ml of plant-based milk in a small saucepan or microwave until lukewarm, not hot.

Step 2

Add 56 g of vegan butter and stir until it melts into the milk.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk mixture with 7 g of active dry yeast and 50 g of granulated sugar. Stir and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

Step 4

Add 440 g of all-purpose flour and 1 tsp of salt to the bowl and mix until a dough forms.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Then place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 1 cm thick.

Step 7

Spread 28 g of softened vegan butter evenly over the rolled dough.

Step 8

Mix 100 g of brown sugar with 2 tbsp of ground cinnamon and sprinkle it evenly over the buttered dough.

Step 9

Roll the dough tightly from one of the longer sides to form a log. Cut the log into about 8-10 slices.

Step 10

Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between each roll for rising.

Step 11

Cover with a towel and allow to rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Step 13

To make the frosting, beat together 120 g of vegan cream cheese, 28 g of softened vegan butter, 150 g of powdered sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 14

Once the rolls are baked, let them cool slightly, then spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the top before serving.
