Ingredients
- Flour - make sure this is plain flour not self-raising flour.
- Dairy-free Butter – This needs to be dairy-free block butter as it has less water content than the spread form which will give these cinnamon rolls more stability.
- Caster sugar – I like to use caster sugar in my cinnamon rolls which is just very refined sugar. So if you can’t find caster sugar I’d recommend using refined or normal granulated sugar.
- Yeast - this makes the dough rise
- Plant-based milk
- Brown sugar - this will be in the cinnamon roll filling.
- Mixed Berry Jam - check out my insanely simple recipe here.
- Cinnamon - this is what gives the cinnamon rolls their signature flavor.
- Salt - just a pinch to enhance the flavors.
