Quick (Vegan) Cinnamon Rolls

Let me start by saying, you will never make another cinnamon roll again after these. These are absolutely delicious, easy, AND you do not have to let them rise more than 30 minutes!! I get requested to make these all the time!

Dough:

4 1/2 tsp rapid rise yeast

1 cup lukewarm water

1 tsp sugar

Combine and set aside.

Let sit 5-10 minutes (if it does not start bubbling use newer yeast)

1/3 cup melted coconut

1 tsp. Salt

2 cups flour (plus 1 1/2 cup to add in increments)

1/4 cup sugar

Combine and stir well, then add the water/yeast mixture. Stir, and keep adding flour in 1/4 cup increments until a dough ball forms. Turn onto a floured surface and knead well for about 3 minutes. Put back in bowl and set aside while you get the filling prepped.

Filling:

1/4 cup Coconut Oil (melted)

1 TBS Cinnamon

3/4 Cup Brown Sugar

Combine cinnamon and brown sugar and mix well.

Turn dough onto floured surface and roll out into a long rectangle (approximately 10×16). Spread melted coconut oil over the dough with a spoon, then sprinkle on cinnamon/sugar mixture and lightly press down. Roll the dough (starting at the long end close to you). Slice rolls, ~1- 1 1/2 inches thick. Place rolls in a heavily greased pan with a little room between, and set pan on stove top. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, while rolls raise (20-30 minutes).

Bake uncovered 13-15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before icing.

Icing:

1 1/2 cups powered sugar

2-3 TBS water or almond milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Add more or less water or powdered sugar to desired consistency. Spoon over rolls.
