Description

Dairy-free milk and butter plus egg replacer make these glazed cinnamon rolls the perfect vegan breakfast treat.

Ingredients

1 cup almond milk
1/3 cup vegan margarine (such as Earth Balance®)
6 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons dry egg replacer (such as Bob's Red Mill®)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
3 cups unbleached or all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup vegan margarine (such as Earth Balance®), melted
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Combine almond milk and margarine for dough in a large microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high power for 1 1/2 minutes.
2 Combine water and egg replacer in a bowl; mix well. Let sit for 1 minute to thicken.
3 Meanwhile, add sugar and yeast to the warm milk mixture and stir to combine. Mix in egg substitute. Add 3 cups flour and salt; mix with your hands until well combined. Add more flour (up to 1 cup) and knead until dough is no longer sticky. Cover bowl with a towel and let rest in a warm place for 1 hour.
4 Punch down dough and roll on a lightly floured surface into a 12x16-inch rectangle.
5 Spread melted margarine over the dough and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon; smooth filling ingredients with a spoon. Starting at the long edge, roll dough into a log and cut into 12 rolls. (For bigger rolls, roll from the short edge.) Place rolls in a greased pan, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
6 Remove rolls from the refrigerator, uncover, and allow to warm for 30 to 60 minutes.
7 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
8 Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
9 When rolls are almost finished, mix confectioners' sugar, water, and vanilla for glaze in a bowl. Spread on warm rolls.
