Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 cup warm plant-based buttermilk
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 4 tablespoons plant-based butter, melted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Filling

  • 6 tablespoons plant-based butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon (natural)

Cream Cheese Icing

  • 4 ounces plant-based cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon grape juice (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Start by activating the yeast in warm plant-based buttermilk. In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the melted plant-based butter and the yeast mixture, then knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  2. Roll and fill the dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Spread the softened plant-based butter evenly over the surface. Mix cinnamon and brown sugar, then sprinkle it generously over the buttered dough. Roll the dough tightly from one edge to the other, forming a log.
  3. Cut and let rise again: With a serrated bread knife, slice the rolled log into even pieces. Arrange the rolls in a greased baking pan. Cover and allow them to rise until puffy and nearly doubled in size, approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
  4. Bake until golden: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are golden and the dough is fully cooked through.
  5. Make the cream cheese icing: While the rolls bake, combine softened plant-based cream cheese, powdered sugar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and grape juice to create a smooth, luscious icing.
  6. Frost and serve: Spread the warm rolls generously with the cream cheese icing so it melts into every swirl. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure your liquid ingredients are warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
  • Allow the dough to rise fully twice for maximum fluffiness.
  • Use a serrated bread knife to slice the dough log to avoid squishing the rolls.
  • Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with plant-based butter before baking for a golden-brown finish.
  • Apply the cream cheese icing while the rolls are warm to achieve a gooey glaze.
