Warm cinnamon buns are the best! I don't do a lot of baking, but every once in a while, I am inspired! This recipe was inspired by a post I saw on "The Food Stories," and thanks to that writer for sharing a terrific recipe. When you have a hankering for something sweet, give these a try.
Ingredients:
In an 8" or 9" inch metal pan (round* or square):
- 1/3 C vegan buttery spread (melted)
- brown sugar & cinnamon for sprinkling
In a mixing bowl:
- 2 C flour
- 1/4 C sugar
- 2 1/2 t baking powder
- 2/3 C vanilla plant-based creamer
- 1/2 C brown sugar
- 1-2 T cinnamon
Glaze:
- 1/2 C powdered sugar
- 2 T vanilla plant-based creamer, or lemon juice, if you prefer tangy!
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, and baking powder.
- After the ingredients are mixed thoroughly, add creamer and blend just until all of the flour mixture is wet.
- On a well-floured surface, roll into a 10" by 12" rectangle.
- Sprinkle the dough with 1/2 cup of brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Beginning with the 10" side, roll the dough into one long strip.
- Use a sharp knife to cut into 1" rounds.
- Melt vegan buttery spread and pour into metal pan.
- Sprinkle melted vegan buttery spread with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Place rounds in metal pan, spacing as evenly as possible.
- Bake 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- Half-way through baking time, remove from oven and baste tops of rolls with a little more melted vegan buttery spread and sprinkle with extra brown sugar and cinnamon.
- After removing rolls from the oven, mix glaze and pour over the top of the cinnamon rolls while they are still warm, but not hot.
- Enjoy!
