Cinnabon Clone (Vegan)

Cinnabon cinnamon rolls are studies in excess. Too much bread, too much sugar, too much cinnamon… In short, they’re heavenly. A single Cinnabon roll contains about 730 calories and 24 g of fat, which is almost half of most people’s daily alottment. While we wouldn’t recommend eating these everyday, we have to admit, sometimes you just ‘need’ a little luxury.

This df/ef version is perfect for those who do not consume animal products. Please note, however, that it does call for sugars, which are a source of some controversy in the vegan community. Please use your discretion when choosing a brand of sugar to use.

Dough
2 cups warm almond or soy milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) – Silk or Almond Breeze
1/4 cup egg substitute (we like to use chia gel. 1 tbsp. chia, soaked in 1 cup water for 5 hours)
2/3 cup df margarine, melted
4 1/2 cups Better Batter Gluten Free Flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast

Filling
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/3 cup df margarine, softened (VERY soft)
 
Topping
1 (3 ounce) package df cream cheese, softened (we prefer Tofutti)
1/4 cup df margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. salt

Instructions
Mix dough ingredients in your mixer on high speed for three minutes, or until well combined. Set aside, covered in plastic wrap, in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled.

Lay out two sheets of plastic wrap to make a 16×24 inch surface. Flour them lightly. Turn dough onto the plastic wrap and sprinkle flour on the surface. Roll dough into a 16×21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup margarine and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture.

Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9×13
inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30
minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup margarine,
confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on
warm rolls before serving.

    Okay, I’ve decided to start my BBF inauguration with these Cinabon clones and some fudgy brownies from Vive le Vegan.

    I’d also like to vot but I can’t get it to work. I’d love to see your recipe archives catalogued by type to make them easier to search through. You know, breads, breakfast, meat, dessert, cookies, bars. wraps; you know what I mean but just subdivided a little so you don’t have to page through everything.

    Thanks for the product, the sight and all the help you’ve give me.
