Quick and Easy Mini-Cinnamon Rolls
Rolls:
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons vegan margarine (I use Earth Balance)
3/4 cup nondairy milk
2 tablespoons melted margarine
1/4 cup Sucanat sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon Icing:
1 teaspoon margarine, softened
1 cup vegan powdered sugar
nondairy milk (I use soy), as needed
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F, and lightly grease baking sheet. Mix dry ingredients first, then cut in margarine. Mix in milk until dough is soft (you may need slightly more or less to get the dough to a workable consistency). Do not over mix!
2. Roll dough to 1/4" thickness in a long rectangle, about 8x16". Using a pastry brush, coat the rectangle of dough with the melted margarine. Then spread the Sucanat and cinnamon over it.
3. Roll from the long end, forming a tight roll. Cut rolls about 1" thick. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutess, or until golden.
4. While rolls are baking, make icing by mixing margarine and powdered sugar. Slowly add milk to reach desired consistency. Spread on rolls while they are still warm.
The rolls themselves are not sickeningly sweet, which makes for good contrast with the icing. Compared to other cinnamon roll recipes, this one is extremely quick and easy, but still soft and tasty!
SO HOW'D IT GO?
Madwe this for a meat eater and he fell in love with it. Good job!
These were difficult for me to roll into the buns, but they still tasted great :)
These were absolutely delicious, and very easy to make. I would suggest using less melted butter, but other than that, they were spectacular.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but these were awful. I couldn't even eat them. They tasted like a stick of butter dipped in cinnamon. They DON'T rise or get puffy even in a small dish--not the way traditional cinnamon rolls do. In fact, they're small and gritty. I'm really sorry but after reading all of the positive reviews, I was REALLY let down. I won't make cinnamon rolls again unless it's with a yeast dough. :(
Was your baking powder past its expiration date?
nicely done my friend
These are true to its title: quick and easy! The followed the recipe exactly the first time I made them and they were delicious, but I wasn't too big on the almost crumbly-like texture. The second time around, I made a few adjustments...
1) used 100% whole wheat
2) replaced the baking powder with yeast (a mixture of 1/2 cup warm water, 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon dry active yeast)
3) used only 1/4 cup milk (because of the yeast mixture)
4) replaced the 6 tablespoons of oil with applesauce (unsweetened)
5) increased the sugar mixture by 2 tablespoons
The rolls were actually denser, moist, goooooey and a lot more like the cinnamon rolls you buy, which I liked. Plus, I didn't have to make the icing! Hopefully, my adjustments don't sound like a new recipe all together...
I didn't have enough margarine so I subbed applesauce for half of it and I didn't put any margarine in the icing. I also used brown sugar instead. Really yummy.
This was super crumbly for me, but I think thats due to the fact i made them with spelt flour. Also, I think I must've added too much oil or something because after I put them in the dish touching they cooked to completely meld into a sort of sweet cinnamon swirl cake. It was still super tasty anyway, next time ill use 1/2 spelt and 1/2 another flour, mayhaps that will improve the texture. :)
these were the best cina rolls ive ever had! and the icing is amazing , i made them on a cookie sheet and i think they would be a little better in a dish as UHBLONDIE said
Thanks for the amazing recipe!
sabrina ;D
well, I had high hopes for these because of all the rave reviews but mine were awful. First problem - the rolls looked cooked after 18 minutes but they were tricking me and were still soggy in the middle. So, back in the oven for a few minutes and then they were cooked. But they were really heavy and doughy - not nice at all. I was so disappointed and don't understand why mine were so terrible.
Oh well, I'll put this down to an interesting experience, but won't try them again.
