Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 10 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9-inch round baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well incorporated.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the melted coconut oil and almond milk. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Roll the dough into a rectangular shape, approximately 12x8 inches, using a rolling pin.
- Sprinkle the rolled dough evenly with ground cinnamon, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Scatter vegan chocolate chips across the cinnamon-covered surface, ensuring even distribution.
- Carefully roll the dough from the long side, creating a tight log, pressing gently to seal the edge.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 10 equal pieces, approximately 1-inch thick.
- Arrange the rolls in the prepared baking pan, leaving a small space between each roll.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and slightly risen.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
- Optional: Drizzle with a simple vegan glaze made from powdered sugar and almond milk for extra sweetness.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: Ensure your flour is spooned and leveled for the perfect dough consistency. Too much flour can lead to dense rolls.
- Warm Ingredients: Use room temperature almond milk and melted coconut oil to help the dough come together smoothly.
- Knead Gently: Knead the dough just until it’s smooth—over-kneading can make the rolls tough.
- Cinnamon Distribution: For an even flavor, make sure to sprinkle the cinnamon and chocolate chips evenly across the rolled-out dough.
- Tight Rolling: Roll the dough tightly to keep the filling secure, which will create beautiful swirls in each roll.
- Don’t Rush the Bake: Keep an eye on the rolls as they bake; they should be golden brown and slightly risen. Every oven is different, so adjust baking time as needed.
- Glaze for Extra Flavor: For an added touch, drizzle a simple vegan glaze made from powdered sugar and almond milk over the rolls once they’ve cooled slightly.
- Serve Warm: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but if you have leftovers, simply reheat them for a few seconds in the microwave for that fresh-baked taste.
