Easy Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
- Flour2 ¾ cups
- Brown sugar1 tbsp + ⅓ cups
- Yeast2 tsp
- Salt½ tsp
- Coconut oil8 tbsp
- Almond milk1 cup + 2 tbsp
- Cinnamon1 ½ tbsp
- Nutmeg½ tsp
- Sugar1 cup
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast and salt.
- Whisk the melted coconut oil into the warmed almond milk, pour over the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together and no flour is left dry.
- Knead on a lightly floured surface for 3 to 5 minutes, until smooth and stretchy.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave somewhere warm until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Roll the risen dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 14 x 20 inches.
- Brush the surface with the melted coconut oil. Mix the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, then sprinkle evenly over the dough to the edges.
- Roll up tightly from one short end, then turn so the seam is underneath.
- Cut into 12 even segments with a very sharp knife and place them evenly spaced in a very generously greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes, while preheating the oven to 350°F.
- Remove the plastic and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until just starting to turn golden on top.
- Cool for 15 to 20 minutes, then whisk the powdered sugar and almond milk until smooth and drizzle over the rolls.
- Pull the rolls apart one at a time once you have run a knife around the edge of the pan.
