vegan cinnamon rolls

VEGAN CINNAMON ROLLS

1 package active dry yeast
1/4 c. water
1 c. almond milk
2 tbsp. margarine + 4 tbsp. for filling
2 tbsp. sugar + 1/2 c. for filling
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. applesauce
3 1/2 c. flour
4 tbsp. cinnamon for filling

soften the yeast in warm water. heat the almond milk to a boil, then remove from heat and add 2 tbsp. margarine, 2 tbsp. sugar, salt and applesauce. pour this mixture into a large bowl, and gradually add the flour; i added mine 1/2 c. at a time

cover and let rise until the dough lump doubles in size. this should take about two hours. listen to a music mix of fall out boy, paramore and cute is what we aim for while you wait, and/or watch bridesmaids

when the dough has finished rising, roll it out on a lightly floured surface. spread 4 tbsp. of melted margarine over the dough. mix 1/2 c. of sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle this evenly over the dough, as well

roll up jelly- roll style, and slice the roll into pieces about 1 inch thick

place the slices in a greased pan. bake for about 25 minutes at 375*

and voila! this recipe yields 8-10 giant cinnamon rolls that are light and fluffy, which is perfect if you want a breakfast or even a dessert that won’t weigh you down
