Vegan Orange & Cinnamon Rolls

These Vegan Orange and Cinnamon Rolls are one of my favourites!

On the weekend we like to go out for breakfast. This often consists of the orange and cinnamon rolls and a latte from Costa. I have been missing our weekly outing, and so I decided to make them for myself. I also learnt how to make lattes from home without a milk steamer to complete the breakfast experience.

This recipe takes around 2 ½ hours to make and makes 14 cinnamon rolls, so plenty for the whole family. As long as they are kept covered they will last around 3-5 days.

If you're not as keen on a strong orange flavour you can either use less orange in the icing or use less icing all together, depending on your preference.

The dough will be very sticky when you leave it to rise, so I’d definitely recommend you use some oil in the bowl to make it easier to get the dough back out. Don’t be alarmed if the dough is very sticky to your hands, that is how it is supposed to be at this stage.

If you are unsure how much it should rise I took before and after photos.

You can make the filling and the icing in advance if you like to save time. I made the filling while the dough was rising, and the icing while the rolls were in the oven.

I have also made a youtube video of the making of the Cinnamon Rolls.

Orange & Cinnamon Rolls - Makes 14

Ingredients

Dough:

2 Cups Vegan Milk, warm - We use oat milk but you can use any plant based milk

½ Cup Butter, melted

¼ Cup Caster Sugar

2 ¼ tsp Instant Yeast - This is also called Easy bake. It's yeast that you can use instantly instead of putting it in milk to activate.

You can use dried active yeast just let the milk, sugar and yeast sit for 5 minutes before continuing.

5 ½ Cups Plain Flour

Filling:

¾ Cup Vegan Butter

¾ Cup Brown Sugar

2 tbsp Ground Cinnamon

Icing:

1 Cup Icing Sugar

2 tbsp Vegan Milk

½ tsp Vanilla

1 tsp Orange Zest

Method

Whisk together milk, butter, sugar and yeast.

Sift 5 cups of flour into a seperate bowl.

Add the wet mix to the flour and mix gently. Use your hands towards the end of mixing to get all the flour up.

Cover dough and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Use a little oil in the bowl to stop the dough from sticking.

While the dough is rising, make the filling by creaming all the ingredients together in a bowl.

Knead the dough for around 5 minutes with the last ½ cup of flour. Use the last 1/2 Cup to lightly flour the side, it will slowly incorporate into the dough. If you don't use it all it wont matter.

Roll the dough out into a large rectangle.

Spread the filling over the dough. Leave a small gap around the edges so it doesn't spill out when you roll it.

Roll the dough to form a log shape. Rolling the long side.

Place the seam side down and trim any unevenness on the ends.

Slice into 14 even slices about 1 ½ inches thick.

Place 7 rolls into 2 trays and cover to rise for another 30 mins.

Preheat the oven to 180c.

Cook rolls for 25-30 mins.

While the rolls are cooking make the icing by combining all the ingredients.

Drizzle the icing on the cinnamon rolls while they are still warm.

Serve warm or cool.

Enjoy!
