Nothing signifies the weekend more than the smell of cinnamon rolls baking in the morning. And nothing smells better than knowing they are VEGAN. I’ve been testing out different recipes using different flours to make things like biscuits and cookies and I’m convinced that nothing can capture the true essence of these baked goods than using good ol’ all purpose flour. Which is kinda annoying because I try to eat a GF diet when possible, but you know sometimes you gotta give in and just eat the damn gluten because it tastes better. And that’s what I’ve found when it comes to certain baked goods, sometimes the regular flour is KEY.

Now I haven’t totally written off the idea of trying these babies with a cup4cup gluten free flour, but for me I’ll be just fine if I occasionally consume gluten, especially if it’s for something as delicious as these. I’ll live. ITS WORTH IT.

The texture, the flavor, the crispy outside, and gooey inside of these vegan cinnamon rolls is perfect. And they are really easy to make, don’t take a ton of time and can be made without a rolling pin! I still don’t own one but a wine bottle wrapped in plastic warp did the job just fine!

Now, the icing. It really is more of a frosting than a thing icing that is typical of the store bought kind. It requires only 3 ingredients and is super thick, sweet, and has a hint of the classic tang that comes from cream cheese.

All I gotta say is I’m having a second one for the day as dessert 🙂

enjoy!
