This vegan cinnamon roll recipe was actually a friend’s grandmother’s recipe that I turned vegan and adapted to reflect the Food By Maria flair. And one of the best parts of this recipe is that it’s really fun to make with your friends, family, and kids because, at the end of the day, I need someone to share the goodness with.
❤️ Why You’ll Love Vegan Cinnamon Rolls
Sticky & Gooey: A cinnamon bun should be ooey and gooey, that’s why these are also called sticky buns. This vegan cinnamon roll recipe is just that! Breakfast: These are perfect for a breakfast/brunch treat, or even a dessert Smells so good: One of the best parts of baking sticky cinnamon rolls is that your whole house will smell like heaven
🍲 Ingredients
Egg Replacer– There are a few reasons why I love this recipe other than it just tastes so fantastic. For starters, it’s such a good comfort food, it’s vegan and it’s bomb as fuck. I used Bob’s Red Mill all-purpose flour and their egg replacement which I love. Their egg replacer is perfect for those who are vegan, have allergies, or are on a reduced-cholesterol diet, and it’s incredibly easy to use. Sticky Sugar Syrup – This is what makes these vegan cinnamon rolls so sticky and delicious. A mix of brown sugar, cinnamon, and maple syrup. My mouth is watering just writing about this! It’s liquid gold. Icing – One of the best parts of these cinnamon rolls is the icing because you can’t have cinnamon rolls without it and it’s so damn good. I legit could eat this stuff alone with a spoon with no shame. However, the combo of the icing with the rolls is what makes this classic one that we all love. The rolls are soft on the inside and with the icing dripping and melting down reaching every corner of them, it’s hard to not drool just talking about them right? So let’s get baking!
