Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls Recipes

SWEET POTATO CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Scrub the sweet potato and remove any dark spots. Pierce it with a knife and cook in a microwave for 4 - 5 minutes. Test it wit ha fork and if it is still firm, cook it for another minute or so until the potato is tender. Once the potato is cool, chop it into chunks. Place it in a food processor with the milk, butter, and brown sugar and pulse until smooth. Transfer this to a microwave-safe bowl.
• In a large mixing bowl add the flour, yeast, salt, and cornstarch. Stir to combine. Heat the sweet potato mixture until warm to the touch and add to the flour bowl. Stir to combine. Next knead the dough right in the bowl for 3 to 5 minutes. Add flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking to your hands. Spray or rub the top of the dough with vegetable oil, cover with a towel or plastic wrap and set aside to rest for about 15 minutes.
• Combine the brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a separate bow
• Once the dough is ready, cover a working area with a sheet of saran wrap. Place the dough on top of the saran wrap and sprinkle with some flour. Some people like to place another piece of saran wrap on top instead of flour, I have not mastered that technique yet, I add flour to the top :). Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to approximately 14×9 inches.
• Spread the filling over the rolled dough using a spatula, covering all of it except for about a half-inch of the long edge furthest away from you. Take your time spreading it out evenly, it will be a thin layer. Sprinkle with walnuts if you are using them. Starting from the long end closest to you, roll the dough into a log. Cut the roll into 12 evenly sized pieces.
• Spray a 9-inch round or square cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place rolls in the prepared pan. Cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and set aside to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about one hour.
• When the rolls have doubled in size, preheat the oven to 375°. When oven reaches temperature, bake the rolls for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the rolls are golden in color.
• While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, almond or peanut butter and vanilla. Once combined add the milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach a desired, spreadable consistency.
• When the rolls are ready, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes before adding the glaze. Serve warm.

SWEET POTATO-PECAN CINNAMON ROLLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, warm the soy milk and vegan butter over medium heat until the butter has melted. Do not boil it. Remove from the heat and stir in the mashed sweet potato.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry and use a wooden spoon to combine. Once it gets too difficult to stir, use your hands to combine the ingredients.
• Flour a clean work surface and transfer the dough onto the prepared work space. Knead it until you've got a smooth dough ball. Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough ball in it, cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let rise for 1 hour. The dough should double in size.
• Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Chop the pecans into small pieces and set aside. In a small saucepan, melt the vegan butter and set aside.
• Once the dough has doubled in size, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Press the air out of the dough, then transfer it back onto your floured work space. Roll the dough until it is about ¼-inch (6 mm) thick. You should end up with a roughly rectangular oval, about 12x16 inches (30x40 cm).
• Brush the dough with the melted butter, sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mix, and then top with the chopped pecans. Fold the short side of the dough over and roll tightly until you have a log.
• Carefully cut the log into twelve 1-inch (2 cm) slices. Grease a large skillet or a 10-inch (25 cm) round baking dish and place the rolls in it cut-side down.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until they've expanded and turned slightly golden on top.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting: Place all the ingredients in a food processor or standing mixer with the whisk attachment on high and blend until creamy.
• Remove the rolls from the oven and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Top with the sweet potato frosting and serve immediately. They will stay fresh for up to 2 days, but they're best eaten the day you bake them.
• Enjoy!
