Ingredients

For the Dough For the Filling For the Glaze

  • 1/4 cup organic cane sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (like almond or oat)
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter (softened)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: 1/3 cup raisins
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp non-dairy milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Bread machine (with dough setting)
  • Rolling pin
  • 9×13-inch baking dish (or similar size)
  • Sharp knife or dental floss (for slicing rolls)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Parchment paper (optional, for easy cleanup)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough in the Bread Machine:

    1. Pour the non-dairy milk and melted vegan butter into the bread machine pan.
    2. Sprinkle in the cane sugar and salt.
    3. Add the bread flour, then make a small indentation in the flour and add the yeast (keeping it away from the wet ingredients).
    4. Select the Dough cycle on your bread machine and press start. Allow the machine to knead and rise the dough (typically 1.5 to 2 hours).
  2. Prepare the Filling:

    1. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
    2. Set out the softened vegan butter for easy spreading.
  3. Shape the Rolls:

    1. When the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough and place it on a lightly floured surface.
    2. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 16×10 inches.
    3. Spread the softened vegan butter over the surface of the dough.
    4. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
    5. If desired, sprinkle on chopped nuts or raisins.
    6. Carefully roll up the dough from the long side, creating a tight log.
  4. Cut and Arrange:

    1. Using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss, cut the log into 12 even pieces.
    2. Arrange the rolls, cut side up, in a greased or parchment-lined 9×13-inch baking dish.
  5. Second Rise:

    1. Cover the dish with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
    2. Let the rolls rise in a warm spot for 30–45 minutes, until puffy.
  6. Bake:

    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    2. Bake the rolls for 22–28 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Make the Glaze:

    1. In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract.
    2. Whisk until smooth. Add more milk if needed for desired consistency.
  8. Glaze and Serve:

    1. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
    2. Enjoy your homemade vegan cinnamon rolls!

Tip: For extra gooey rolls, pour a little non-dairy cream or plant-based coffee creamer into the dish before baking.

Tips & Variations

  • Overnight Prep: After arranging the cut rolls in the pan, cover and refrigerate overnight. Allow them to come to room temperature and rise before baking in the morning.
  • Gluten-Free: Substitute a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. The texture may differ, but they’ll still be delicious!
  • Nutty Twist: Add pecans or walnuts to the filling for crunch.
  • Raisin Swirl: Sprinkle raisins or dried cranberries in the filling for fruity sweetness.
  • Frosting Alternative: Swap the glaze for vegan cream cheese frosting for a richer treat.
  • Spice It Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the filling for extra depth.
  • Try Different Milks: Almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk all work well in both dough and glaze.

“Let your bread machine handle the kneading and rising—perfect cinnamon rolls every time!”
