A breakfast that everyone will remember

Everyone loves cinnamon rolls. They take me right back to my childhood—walking through the mall with my mom, begging her to stop at one of those cinnamon roll stands. But for some reason, I never considered making them myself. Why? I always assumed working with dough would be way too time-consuming and complicated. Was it really worth all that effort?

To my surprise—yes! Totally worth it. And even better, this recipe doesn’t take a ton of time or effort. A win-win in my book. It’s based on my original recipe (inspired by Just A Taste), but this time I added a fun little twist… sprinkles!

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 7 servings

Ingredients  

Dough

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp + 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 3/4 cup almond milk
  • 3 Tbsp vegan butter

Filling

  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 Tbsp cinnamon
  • 3 Tbsp melted vegan butter

Frosting

  • 1 Tbsp vegan butter
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean or vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar (sifted)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F and prepare your baking dish by greasing it with vegan butter or non-stick cooking spray. Vegan butter works best as it will give the dough a buttery flavor while cooking.
  • In a large bowl, mix together, flour, baking powder, white sugar, cinnamon, sprinkles and salt. Once your dough mixture is complete, set aside.
  • In a small sauce pan over medium heat, melt the butter and almond milk. Watch it carefully, you want to remove it just as it melts together. Pour this mixture into your dough and with a spatula, mix until well incorporated.
  • A dough will start to form. Remove your dough from the bowl and place it on a floured surface. Flour your hands and start to kneed the dough until it is well incorporated. Place the dough back into the bowl and cover it with a damp towel. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, mix your filling in a small bowl by combining coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, and vegan butter and whisking until well combined.
  • After the 15 minutes are completed. Remove dough from bowl and kneed once more. Roll into a large ball and using a rolling pin, roll the dough out until it reached 10x 14. Using a knife, cut off the outer edges until a rectangle is formed.
  • Once your dough is rolled out, spread 1 Tbsp of melted butter evenly, then spread filling mixture until it is evenly coated.
  • Starting on the longer side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Using a knife, cut out 9 small portions.
  • Add these portions to your prepared baking dish. Bake in the oven at 350 for 25 minutes.
  • While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the frosting mixture by combining vegan cream cheese, melted butter, non-dairy yogurt, vanilla bean, and sifted powdered sugar in a small bowl.
  • Drizzle over cinnamon rolls once they are done baking in the oven and ENJOY!
