Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer
  • 1 cast iron skillet or any baking dish

Ingredients
  

For The Dough:

Cinnamon Sugar Mix:

  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 5 tablespoon cashew milk based vegan butter room temperature

For The Cream Cheese Icing:

Instructions
 

  • Begin adding the warm water and 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar to a large bowl and mix until smooth. Add the yeast and mix again. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Once the yeast mixture is foaming, sift in the flour and protein powder.
  • Add the yogurt and soy milk and mix until a dough has formed. Knead for 5-10 minutes, adding flour as needed. Add the dough to a greased bowl and set aside in a warm area for 30 minutes to rise.
  • After thirty minutes have passed, and the cinnamon roll dough has risen, knead it on a lightly floured surface for 1-2 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough on a heavily floured surface with a rolling pin until it is ¼ inch thick and in the shape of a long rectangle. Spread the room temperature butter on top of the dough until it has covered all the dough.
  • Combine the coconut sugar and the cinnamon together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture onto the butter until it's completely covered.
  • Roll the dough into a large cinnamon roll and use floss to cut out the individual cinnamon rolls.
  • Place the cinnamon rolls into a cast iron skillet, or square pan. Set aside and let rise again for 30 more minutes.
  • Once the protein cinnamon rolls have doubled in size, preheat the oven to 350.
  • Place the rolls in the oven to bake for 20 minutes.
  • While the cinnamon rolls are baking, combine the cream cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  • Once the cinnamon rolls are slightly golden on top, remove them from the heat and drizzle the cream cheese icing on top.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*whole wheat flour can also be used. I recommend using about ¼ cup less. You will still need plenty of flour for dusting
