Oat Flour Cinnamon Rolls Recipes

THE WORLD'S EASIEST CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• DOUGH: In a large sauce pan (or in a bowl in the microwave at 30-second increments), heat the almond milk and vegan butter until warm and melted, never reaching boiling. Remove from heat and let cool to 110 degrees F (43 C) or the temperature of bath water. It should be warm but not too hot or it will kill the yeast.
• Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle on yeast. Let activate for 10 minutes. Then add 1 Tbsp sugar and the salt and stir.
• Next add in flour 1/2 cup (68 g) at a time, stirring as you go (you may not add it all). The dough will be sticky. When it is too thick to stir, transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for a minute or so until it forms a loose ball (be careful not to overmix). Rinse your mixing bowl out, coat it with avocado or olive oil, and add your dough ball back in. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size (see photo).
• FILLING: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin rectangle (the thickness of the dough should be about 1/4-inch). Brush with melted vegan butter and top with sugar and desired amount of cinnamon.
• Starting at one end, tightly roll up the dough and situate seam side down. Then with a serrated knife or a string of floss, cut the dough into 1.5 - 2 inch sections and position in a well-buttered 8x8-inch square or comparable sized round pan (you should have about 10 rolls as original recipe is written). If preparing the cinnamon rolls the night before, stop here, cover the pan, and refrigerate overnight, then proceed with the next step in the morning.
• TOPPING: Brush with vegan butter (melted) and cover with plastic wrap. Set on top of the oven to let rise again while you preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C).
• Once the oven is hot, bake rolls for 25-30 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes and then serve immediately.
• Optional: Frost with dairy-free cream cheese frosting or a simple mixture of 1 cup (112 g) organic powdered sugar and 1-2 Tbsp (15-30 ml) almond milk.
• Best when fresh, though they will keep covered at room temperature for ~2-3 days.
• FREEZING: You can make the rolls up to the point of putting in a baking dish (step 5), and instead, freeze them in a freezer-safe container. Then, thaw the night before in the fridge. Once completely thawed, proof covered with a towel in a greased baking dish as your oven preheats, then bake as instructed.

THE EASIEST OAT FLOUR CINNAMON ROLLS (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 inch circle pan with cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, prepare your filling by combining the coconut sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Now make the dough. In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients: oat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, butter, and vanilla. Make sure the almond milk is at room temperature (or you can microwave it for 20 seconds) before adding in the butter. This will prevent the butter from solidifying. Whisk until fully combined.
• Now, fold in the dry flour ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined and the dough forms into a ball. Let the dough sit for a minute or two to thicken.
• Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface (I like using parchment paper and adding about a tablespoon of oat flour). The dough will be a tad bit sticky and thats ok! Add a tablespoon of oat flour on top of the dough so it is easy to shape and work with. Using your hands, press the dough and shape it into a rectangle, about 12x8 inches or 1/4 inch thick.
• Now, brush the flattened dough with melted butter or coconut oil and sprinkle the filling on top in an even layer.
• Start to roll the dough into a log form. Slowly roll the dough from the short side. It's ok if the dough starts to crack. Carefully pinch the dough together with your hands to keep it from cracking. Continue this process until fully rolled up.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 rolls. The dough will be a little bit sticky as you cut it. Place the rolls in the prepared circle pan. Top each roll with a small sliver of butter (optional) and bake for 25 minutes.
• While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make your icing! Combine all the icing ingredients in a small bowl until fully combined. If the icing is too dry, add in another tbsp of almond milk.
• Top each cinnamon roll with icing and enjoy!
