I used to make cinnamon rolls for the boys a lot when we lived in Wisconsin. Not the homemade kind, the dairy case, pop out of the can kind. The boys liked them, and I always insisted they have yogurt or a yogurt based with fruit smoothie to counteract the sugar and preservatives in those cinnamon rolls.
A couple of weeks ago I bought another package of cinnamon rolls, and again the boys loved them. But, I was thinking that I wasn't so happy giving them those with all that junk in there. So, I wanted to look at making some homemade cinnamon rolls...and make them vegan too. Why not?
How did they turn out? FABULOUS!!! I used the recipe out of my Tassajara Bread Book. The dough was very similar to my basic bread dough I make, just smaller proportions, the addition of an egg and more sugar. I made them vegan by using Earth Balance instead of butter and a flax egg in place of the regular egg. The icing was just powdered sugar and water. The brown sugar and cinnamon mix in the center browned up nicely, forming a delicious caramel that got a little crispy as they cooled. Heaven!
I probably won't be making them again this weekend, since we ate them for 3 days. The batch made a lot! But, this will definitely will be a repeat recipe.
