- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ cup warm soy milk
- 5 tablespoons dairy-free butter (melted)
Filling:
- 7 tablespoons dairy-free butter (room temperature)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup

- ¾ cup crushed pecans
Maple Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 5 ½ tablespoons dairy-free unsalted butter (very soft)
- 6 oz dairy-free cream cheese
- â…” cup powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- Start by mixing the yeast into the warm soy milk. Leave it to bloom and foam.
- Mix together the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and fold in the melted butter and milk mixture until just combined.
- Cover with a kitchen towel and let it sit for about 10 minutes to rest and allow the ingredients to absorb together.
- Using a dough hook, knead the dough for 15 minutes on medium speed.
- Stretch the dough up and onto itself and roll it into a smooth ball.
- Lightly grease a bowl with additional oil and place the dough ball in it. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch by 12-inch square.
- In a bowl, mix together the filling ingredients and spread onto the rolled dough.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 9 pieces.
- Place the pieces into a buttered 9-inch square or round pan, spacing them evenly.
- Cover and let rise for about 45 minutes.
- (Optional) Pour cream over the risen rolls before baking for extra gooeyness. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.
- Whip the frosting ingredients together and spread over the warm cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!
