Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 50 g Coconut sugar
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 80 g Vegan butter
- 120 ml Vegan honey substitute
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Warm the almond milk in a small saucepan until it's just about lukewarm. Remove from heat and add the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of the coconut sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and remaining coconut sugar. Mix well.
Melt the vegan butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the dry ingredients, followed by the melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and half of the vegan honey substitute. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Punch down the dough to release the air and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle approximately 12x18 inches.
Brush the surface with half of the remaining vegan honey substitute and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon.
Roll the dough tightly from the long end, creating a log shape. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
Arrange the slices in a greased baking dish, leaving a small gap between each bun.
Cover with a cloth and let the rolls rise again for about 20 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Brush the remaining vegan honey substitute over the buns immediately after removing them from the oven for a shiny, sweet glaze.
Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious vegan honey buns warm!
