Ingredients Needed for This vegan strawberry cinnamon rolls Recipe

For the Dough:

• 2 ½ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 cup unsweetened plant based milk, warmed
• ¼ cup vegan butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped

• ¼ cup vegan butter, melted

For the Glaze (Optional):

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 3 tablespoons of plant based milk

How to Make This vegan strawberry cinnamon rolls Recipe

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine the warm plant based milk, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract.
2. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
3. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
4. Prepare the Filling: While the dough is rising, prepare the strawberry cinnamon filling. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well.
5. Assemble the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a 12×18 inch rectangle. Spread the melted vegan butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the strawberry cinnamon mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
6. Roll and Cut: Starting from one of the long edges, tightly roll the dough into a log. Using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss, cut the log into 12 equal slices.
7. Bake: Place the rolls cut side up in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise for another 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Prepare the Glaze (Optional): While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, plant based milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
9. Glaze the Rolls: Once the rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Serve warm and enjoy your delectable Vegan Strawberry CinnamonRolls!

How to Serve This vegan strawberry cinnamon rolls Recipe

These vegan strawberry cinnamon rolls are delicious served warm, fresh from the oven. A dollop of plant based whipped cream or a scoop of vegan ice cream would also make a lovely addition.

Consider pairing them with a cup of hot coffee or a glass of cold plant based milk for a delightful brunch. For a simple plating idea, arrange the rolls on a platter and garnish with a few fresh strawberries.

How to Store This vegan strawberry cinnamon rolls Recipe

Leftover vegan strawberry cinnamon rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature (for up to 2 days), in the refrigerator (for up to 5 days) or in the freezer.

For longer storage, freeze the rolls individually wrapped in plastic wrap and then placed in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 3 months. To reheat, thaw the rolls overnight in the refrigerator or on the counter for a few hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10 15 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also reheat them in the microwave for a quick and easy option.

Tips to Make This vegan strawberry cinnamon rolls Recipe

For the best results, make sure your plant based milk is warm (not hot) before adding it to the yeast. The warm milk helps to activate the yeast and allows the dough to rise properly.

Don't over knead the dough, as this can make it tough. Knead just until it is smooth and elastic. If you don’t have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries. Be sure to thaw and drain them well before using.

To prevent the rolls from drying out while baking, cover the baking dish with foil for the first half of the baking time. Remove the foil for the last half of the baking time to allow the rolls to brown.

Helpful Notes for This vegan strawberry cinnamon rolls Recipe

Active dry yeast is essential for this recipe, providing the rise and fluffy texture needed in these rolls. Ensure it's fresh! Vegan butter contributes to the rich flavor and texture. Experiment with different plant based milks (almond, soy, oat) to find your preferred taste.

A stand mixer with a dough hook can make kneading easier, but hand kneading works just as well. If your dough is too sticky, add flour gradually, one tablespoon at a time. You can use unflavored dental floss to cut the cinnamon rolls if you want to ensure a perfectly clean cut every time.

If you want your strawberries bursting with flavor, try slicing them the night before and leaving them to macerate in sugar. VeganStrawberryCinnamonRolls are not just a recipe; they are a journey into mindful vegan baking.

Variation of This vegan strawberry cinnamon rolls Recipe

For a chocolate twist, add cocoa powder to the filling mixture. Use about 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor. Consider adding blueberries or raspberries along with the strawberries for a mixed berry version.

To make caramel vegan strawberry cinnamon rolls, drizzle a vegan caramel sauce over the baked rolls before serving. These VeganStrawberryCinnamonRolls taste fantastic, but experimentation is key to discovering your perfect version!

For a seasonal twist, consider using spiced apple filling during the fall months. Replace half the strawberries with diced apples and add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
