Cinnamon rolls have been around for centuries, with some historians tracing their origins back to Ancient Egypt.

However, the modern version that we know and love today is thought to have originated in Sweden in the 1920s.  

Today, cinnamon rolls are enjoyed in many countries and are a popular item in bakeries and coffee shops.

Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 500g flour

  • 1 package dry yeast

  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar

  • 57 ml vegetable oil

  • 1 cup (250 ml) plant-based milk (such as almond milk)

  • 1 pinch of salt

For the filing:

  • 200g brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 cup (59 ml) vegetable oil

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup (240g) powdered sugar

  • 6 tablespoons plant-based milk

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

    Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1

    For the dough, mix all the ingredients in a bowl and knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth.

    Roll out the dough into a rectangle and brush it with vegetable oil.

    Step 2

    For the filling, mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vegetable oil in a bowl.

    Spread the filling over the dough and roll the dough up from the longer side.

     

    Step 3

    Cut the roll into slices about 2 cm thick and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let then rize for about 40 minutes.

    Preheat the oven to 180°C.

    Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until they are golden brown.

    Step 4

    While the cinnamon rolls cool, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl.

    Drizzle the glaze over the cinnamon rolls and serve.

    Enjoy!
