Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Coconut milk (canned, unsweetened)
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 1 Egg
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Stir and let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable oil, honey, and egg.
Pour the yeast mixture and the wet mixture into the flour and salt. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12x9 inches.
Spread the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the dough.
Roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
Place the buns in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the honey buns for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
While the buns are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
Once the buns are baked, let them cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free honey buns!
