Pumpkin butter cinnamon rolls
Dough
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet activated yeast
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 1/4 cup non-dairy-free milk
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Yields: 12
Icing
1/4 vegan butter
1 cup powdered sugar
4 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp pumpkin butter
Filling
1/3 cup vegan butter
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup vegan heavy cream
Grease a medium bowl with oil and set aside. Melt the vegan butter for the dough and let it cool.
Warm the dairy-free milk to 110°F. Stir in 1 tbsp coconut sugar and 1 tbsp flour. Sprinkle yeast on top, stir lightly, cover, and let sit in a warm spot for 10 minutes or until bubbling.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the yeast mixture, remaining coconut sugar, applesauce, melted butter, and vanilla. Add half the flour, mix, then add the rest and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead lightly for 2-4 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in the greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Mix the cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12x18 inch rectangle.
Spread with vegan butter, sprinkle with cinnamon pumpkin sugar, and roll tightly. Slice into 12 rolls and place into a greased casserole dish. Cover the rolls and let them rise for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F.
Pour vegan heavy cream between the rolls, then bake for 20-22 minutes until lightly golden. Cool for 5-10 minutes.
Cream vegan butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and pumpkin butter, then mix until smooth. Frost and enjoy!
