Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 cup plant-based milk (lukewarm)
- 1/4 cup unsalted plant-based butter (melted)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
Filling Ingredients
- 1 cup Biscoff spread
- 2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Frosting Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based cream cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (natural)
- 2 tbsp unsalted plant-based butter (softened)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
- 1/4 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Warm the plant-based milk until just lukewarm, then whisk in the active dry yeast with 1 teaspoon of sugar and let it sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes. In a large bowl, mix the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Once the yeast is activated, add it to the flour mixture along with melted plant-based butter and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and allow it to rise until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Make the Filling: While the dough rises, combine the Biscoff spread, cinnamon powder, and brown sugar in a bowl. If the Biscoff spread is too thick, gently warm it to ease spreading. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Roll and Fill: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12×16 inch rectangle. Spread the Biscoff cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, making sure to reach all edges. Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 12 even rolls.
- Second Rise and Bake: Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased baking pan, leaving some space between them. Cover loosely and let rise again for 30 to 45 minutes until puffed. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before frosting.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting: In a bowl, beat together plant-based cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened plant-based butter, vanilla extract, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce until smooth and spreadable. Generously spread the frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls, allowing it to melt and soak in for a luscious finish.
Notes
- Use fresh active dry yeast for the best rise and dough texture.
- Allow full rising times for optimal soft and fluffy rolls.
- Warm the Biscoff spread slightly to make spreading easier and smoother.
- Use a sharp knife or dental floss to slice the rolls evenly for consistent baking.
- Spread the frosting while rolls are still warm for a melty, irresistible finish.
- Store leftover rolls at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer keeping.
- Freeze unbaked rolled dough or baked rolls wrapped individually and placed in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
- Reheat refrigerated or frozen rolls in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 10 to 15 minutes.
