Ingredients

Dough

  • 2-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • .25 ounce baking yeast (one packet)
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup cashew milk
  • 2-1/2 tablespoons Earth Balance or other butter substitude
  • 1 large egg

Filling

  • 3 Tablespoons Earth Balance softened to room temperature
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cashew milk

Instructions

Dough

  • Set aside ½ cup of flour. In a large bowl, toss 2-1/4 cups flour, the sugar, salt, and yeast together until evenly dispersed.
  • Heat the water, milk alternative, and margarine together in the microwave until the mixture is very warm, but not too hot to touch, about 125-130°F.
  • Stir the margarine mixture into the flour mixture. Add the egg and only enough of the reserved flour to make a soft dough. Dough will be ready when it gently pulls away from the side of the bowl and has an elastic consistency.
  • On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for about 3 to 5 minutes. Place it in a lightly greased bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.

Filling

  • After 10 minutes, roll the dough out in a 14x8 inch rectangle.
  • Spread the softened margarine on top. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle it over the margarine.
  • Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 11 even pieces and place in a lightly greased 9-inch round pan or pie dish.

Bake

  • Loosely cover the rolls with aluminum foil and allow to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 60 and 90 minutes.
  • After the rolls have doubled in size, preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cover the rolls with aluminum foil after 15 minutes to avoid heavy browning, if you prefer.

Glaze

  • Whisk the glaze ingredients together in a medium bowl.
  • Top the cinnamon rolls with glaze right before serving.
