Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

I enjoy eating healthy, but I also love baking new vegan recipes. This is where the guys in your life play a major role; they will try and eat pretty much anything  =).  No matter how unhealthy it is, or how vegan it taste, the bf will do the honors of eating it up (thanks hun!). I’m not a huge cinnamon roll eater and have not had one in ages… they aren’t very vegan, but  after seeing these, I knew I wanted to have a go at it.

A couple nights ago I tried this simple, mini cinnamon roll recipe. Lets just say, it took me two tries… my second batch was more of a success; moist, sweet, and edible!

Recipe:

• Preheat oven to 450 degree.
• Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.
• Cut in the vegan margarine and using your fingers, message the butter into the dry ingredients.
• Pour the vanilla soy milk until the dough gets thick and soft (w/ hands).
• Ball the dough up and set it on a floured surface.
• Roll the dough into a long rectangular shape and brush the top with melted vegan margarine and sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
• From long side, tightly roll up and cut into 1 inch rolls (15 total).
• Place rolls into a greased pan and bake for 12-14 min or until puffy and golden.

Icing

• Start with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
• Add vanilla soy milk a tbl at a time until you reach a desired thickness.
