Ingredients 

For the rolls:

  • 1 cup almond milk room temperature
  • ¼ cup vegan butter melted
  • 2 Tbsp sugar organic
  • ½ packet yeast fresh
  • 2 ½ cups flour divided + ½ cup for dusting
  • ½ tsp salt

For the filling:

  • ⅓ cup vegan butter
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon ground
  • ½ tsp cardamom
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 2 Tbsp cranberries

For the icing:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp almond milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a big bowl, whisk the warm milk with 1 Tbsp sugar and fresh yeast until dissolved.
  • Sieve in 1 cup flour and gently whisk.
  • Cover with a towel and let sit for about 40 minutes in a warm place.
  • Preheat oven to 180˚C.
  • After 40 minutes, the dough should be bubbly and double in size.
  • In a small bowl combine the melted butter with the rest of the sugar and salt.
  • Add the mixture to the dough and gently combine.
  • Add one and a half cup flour while sieving.
  • Stir well, cover and let sit for 40 more minutes.
  • When the dough is double in size, remove it to a floured surface.
  • Knead the dough lightly, adding some more flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface anymore.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle.
  • In a small bowl, prepare the filling. Combine all the filling ingredients except for the cranberries and whisk until smooth.
  • Spread the filling mixture evenly over the dough.
  • Sprinkle evenly with cranberries.
  • Roll up the dough, forming a log, and pinch the seam closed. Place it seam-side down.
  • Cut the log in half, then cut halves in half until you get 8 rolls.
  • Place 8 cinnamon rolls in baking pan.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for 20 more minutes.
  • Remove the wrap and place in the oven. Bake for about 30 minutes until golden.
  • Now make the frosting:
  • In a small mixing bowl whisk together the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • While the cinnamon rolls are still warm, drizzle them evenly with the frosting.
