These easy to make cinnamon rolls are soft, light dough topped with sweet sticky marshmallows, rolled in chocolate ganache and sprinkled with maple-flavoured marshmallows and soaked in plant-based cream. Delicious. 

        For this recipe for vegan cinnamon rolls, I will be going through how to make these smores 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.

        Expert Baking Tips on how to make these chocolate hazelnut rolls

        Although this cinnamon rolls easy recipe is 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 or when the dough is smooth and spring backs when touched

        Ingredients for cinnamon rolls

        Here's everything I used to make these cinnamon rolls vegan

        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, as gluten free flour will create a crumbly dough that won’t be nearly as fluffy as the one using plain flour.

        Chocolate - This can be dairy free to make these rolls vegan

        Double cream - plant based milk or coconut cream will also work well here.

        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 easy to make cinnamon rolls filling - Homemade chocolate spread without hazelnuts

        Simply heat together equal parts chocolate to double cream in a microwave for 30 sec intervals until smooth. Then place in the freezer for 15 mins to thicken. 

        Spread the ganache evenly across the entire surface and then sprinkle with marshmallows. 

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

        Transfer to a greased baking tray, sprinkle with more marshmallows and pour on the plant-based double cream.

        Bake for 25-35 mins. The rolls should be slightly, firm and golden brown.

        Allow the buns to cool down before enjoying with your favorite warm beverage.

        Flavor 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 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.
