Homemade Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls 🥳

Alright, I finally decided to do homemade cinnamon rolls! I mostly followed the recipe from the Minimalist Baker ("The World's Easiest Cinnamon Rolls" from minimalistbaker.com at https://minimalistbaker.com/the-worlds-easiest-cinnamon-rolls/#wprm-recipe-container-36105), but of course, I put my own spin on it.

I actually made two batches! The first was with 100% whole wheat flour, and for the second, I got a little experimental with 75% rye flour and 25% whole wheat flour. Instead of mylk, I just used water in both. 💧

For the yeast, I put both fast-rising and traditional – ! And I used Crystal margarine. 🌱

Now, for the best part: the cinnamon! 🤩 I used way more than a cup of powdered cinnamon because I absolutely love that intense cinnamon flavor! I usually take cinnamon sticks and put them in my Vitamix at high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, until the powder is like I want.
For the sweetness, I combined a little granulated cane sugar with mostly cassonade (brown sugar).

And the verdict? They are really good! 😋

The Topping 🧁

For the topping, I hit a wall: I only had two cups of icing sugar. 😬 But did that stop me? Nope! I made it with what I had, adding maybe 2 tablespoons of pure vanilla extract and a big tablespoon of liquid margarine. Then, I just added water, little by little, until I got that perfect icing consistency.
But still, it truly needs more icing. Icing it so good.

Voila! ✨
