        Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

        These are the best peanut butter and jelly rolls. They’re the perfect comfort food to welcome in the colder seasons. These easy to make cinnamon rolls are soft, fluffy, brioche-like rolls, filled with a sweet, strawberry jam and a crunchy peanut butter filling. And finally smothered with the simplest 2 ingredient glaze.

        For these peanut butter and jam rolls, I will be going through how to make these cinnamon rolls step by step and answering your FAQs such as ‘can cinnamon rolls rise overnight’ ‘can you make cinnamon rolls without eggs’ ‘what pastry is used for cinnamon rolls’ and so much more.

        These easy homemade cinnamon rolls are the softest, most flavourful cinnamon rolls that are completely eggless, nut free and dairy free!

        Another great thing about this peanut butter and jelly cinnamon rolls recipe is how customisable you can make it. For example, you can make these into a strawberry crumble cinnamon roll recipe or keep it to a traditional cinnamon roll without any of the additions.

        I’ll also be sharing some more flavor variations and mix in’s below. And would highly recommend you check that part of this post out!

        Expert Baking Tips on how to make pumpkin spice roll

        Although this peanut butter and jam rolls recipe are super simple to make, here are just a few expert tips I'd recommend:

        • To prevent the dough from sticking to your countertop and creating a mess with flour you can simply roll the dough in between 2 sheets of cling film.
        • Roll the dough out until it reaches approx 0.5 cm in width
        • Make sure to knead the dough for at least 10 minutes- the dough should be soft and spring back when touched

        How make cinnamon rolls

        Ingredients for cinnamon rolls

        Here's everything I used to make these cinnamon rolls without egg

        Vegan butter- You can use either vegan block butter or margarine. 

        Plant-based milk - This can be oat, soya or almond milk.

        Sugar- I like to use caster sugar which is just a very refined sugar, but if you don't have any refined granulated sugar will work well here.

        Plain flour - Regular plain flour is needed to create the soft dough, a gluten free flour will create a crumbly dough that won’t be nearly as fluffy as the one using plain flour.

        Cinnamon rolls how to make - Step by step instructions 

        Begin by mixing together the warm milk, melted butter and sugar. Then sprinkle the yeast on top and allow it to bloom for 5 minutes. 

        In a separate bowl combine all the dry ingredients. Then stir gently in the milk mixture and pumpkin puree into the dry ingredients until fully combined. 

        On a floured surface knead the dough for 10 mins until the dough springs back when touched.

        Cover the dough in a bowl with cling film or a tea towel to prove for an hour.

        Once proved, roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, approx 0.5cm in thickness.

        The peanut butter and jelly rolls filling

        Simply spread the jam evenly across the entire surface and then do the same with the peanut butter spreading it directly on top of the jam layer.

        Slice the dough into strips and roll each individually. (Refer to video tutorial above)

        Transfer to a greased baking tray and bake for 25-35 mins. The rolls should be slightly firm and golden brown.

        Allow the buns to cool down before drizzling on the glaze.

        The icing recipe for cinnamon rolls

        Simply cream together the icing sugar and plant based butter until creamy then spread over the rolls.

        Enjoy with your favorite warm beverage.

        Flavour Variations and Mixins for cinnamon rolls recipe vegan

        Traditional cinnamon roll

        You can use this recipe to make a traditional cinnamon roll - soft, fluffy dough encasing a sweet, buttery, cinnamon roll filling. Just simply remove the peanut butter and jam from the recipe.

        Apple crumble

        This is my ultimate fall cinnamon rolls recipe. Instead of spreading the PB and J onto the dough simply spread on to the sweet cinnamon spread onto the dough and sprinkle on some chopped apples. And top it off with a simple 3 ingredient crumble topping.

        Pumpkin Spice rolls

        These are the perfect treat to welcome in the colder seasons. The pumpkin puree creates soft, fluffy, brioche-like rolls, filled with a sweet, cinnamon slightly spiced pumpkin filling. Here is the recipe.

        FAQs

        What's the difference between cinnamon rolls and cinnamon buns ?

        The simple difference is that cinnamon buns contain nuts and cinnamon rolls do not!

        Can cinnamon rolls rise overnight ?

        Yes, you can allow the dough to rise overnight if you’d prefer to make these dough ahead of time. Just make sure to prove them in a warm area. Not too cold or hot.

        What jam goes best with peanut butter ?

        I used strawberry jam for these rolls, but you can really use any jam you like. I think some good recommendations could be blackberry or raspberry jam. Let me know which jam flavor you choose in the comments. I'd love to know.

        Jam or peanut butter first ?

        For these rolls I found it easiest to spread the jam over the peanut butter, but honestly as long as they are both spread onto the dough it doesn't really matter the order you put it on.

        Storing and freezing

        How long do cinnamon rolls last ?

        They stay good at room-temperature for up to 2 days, in the fridge for up to a week, and in the freezer for up to 2 months if stored in an airtight container.

          These look so yummy! I love cinnamon rolls, and I love peanut butter and jelly. This is a great combo, and it makes me feel like it is better for me with the added protein from the peanut butter!
