• Vegan butter, 75g, melted to enrich the dough
• Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon, for an aromatic touch
• All-purpose flour, 460g, for a soft and tender roll

• Instant yeast, 2¼ teaspoons, to make the dough rise beautifully
• Sea salt, 1 teaspoon, to balance the flavors

For the Filling:

• Vegan butter, 60g, softened for easy spreading
• Light muscovado sugar (or brown sugar), 60g, for a deep, caramelized sweetness
• Ground cinnamon, 1 to 1½ tablespoons, for that signature cinnamon roll flavor

For the Frosting:

• Powdered sugar, 200g, for a smooth and creamy frosting
• Non-dairy milk, 3-4 tablespoons, to achieve the perfect consistency

Let’s Get Baking:

1. Start by preparing the vegan buttermilk and melting the vegan butter.

4. Roll up tightly, slice with floss for precision, and let the rolls rise again.
5. Bake until golden and while still warm, slather generously with the sweet vanilla frosting.
