- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)

- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1-2 tablespoons almond milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
- Mix the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Stir in the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until a soft dough begins to form.
- Lightly flour your countertop and roll the dough out into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Brush the rolled-out dough with melted coconut oil and sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the surface.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll the dough into a log.
- Cut the log into 8 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
- Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for about 30 minutes.
- Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and almond milk for the glaze.
- Once baked, drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy immediately.
Notes
You can use any plant-based milk instead of almond milk. Nuts or raisins can be added to the filling for extra flavor.
