Vegan Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls

Hello my glamorous friends , I hope you are all enjoying the week so far . If you are live in the uk would say I hope you are enjoying the weather .... But summer has disappeared for the moment . ( RIP SUMMER ) .








 Any who as a vegan I find it extremely hard to find desserts when going out . Prime example was yesterday when I went out with my boyfriends family for dinner , and all I could have was on the dessert menu was jelly .... Now don't get me wrong I do love jelly however , I think within this day
 and age I think hospitality industries such as pubs, restaurants and cafe's  should have at least one vegan option for dessert .




Today I was craving for some cinnamon rolls however , I would have to make it vegan of course  . I have done a non vegan recipe and I will provide that link at the bottom of this post if you would like to check it out . These cinnamon rolls are light , airy and extremely sweet . ( But I love sweet things so ohhhh well )






Ingredients

•  
• For the Dough:
• 1 cup vegan milk

1/4 cup plus 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar

4 tablespoons vegan butter, melted, plus more for the bowl

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Once the mixture foams up and doubles in size, whisk in the melted vegan butter, "egg" mixture , and vanilla.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk the flour, the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the salt, and nutmeg.

How to Form Cinnamon Buns
