Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 1 cup non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup vegan butter, melted
• 3 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

• 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Vegan Cream Cheese Glaze:

• 1/4 cup vegan cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2-3 tablespoons non-dairy milk

Instructions:

For the Dough:

1. Activate Yeast: Warm the non-dairy milk until it’s just slightly warm to the touch. Stir in the sugar and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted vegan butter, flour, and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

For the Filling:

1. Roll Out Dough: After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
2. Spread Filling: Spread the softened vegan butter over the rolled-out dough. Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it evenly over the butter.
3. Roll It Up: Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from one of the long sides.
4. Cut into Rolls: Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the log into equal-sized rolls.

Second Rise:

1. Place in Pan: Arrange the cut rolls in a greased baking dish.
2. Second Rise: Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30-60 minutes.

Baking:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Bake: Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

For the Vegan Cream Cheese Glaze:

1. Make Glaze: While the rolls are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the softened vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and non-dairy milk until smooth.
2. Drizzle Glaze: Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over them while they are still warm.
3. Serve: Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delectable treats!
