This recipe is a Finnish classic and a childhood favorite. Lovely vegan cinnamon roll recipe to crown the breakfast or picknick. The guaranteed charm is in the rich layers of cinnamon, sugar and rustic appearance!

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 5 deciliters oat milk
  • 22 grams dry yeast
  • 1 deciliter organic cane sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 13 deciliters wheat flour
  • 1,5 deciliters runny baking margarine

Filling

  • ½ deciliter runny plant butter
  • 1 deciliter cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
  • 2 tablespoons organic ground cinnamon

Finishing

  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 deciliters pearl sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat oat milk to 42 degrees Celcius (slightly warmer than lukewarm)
  2. Mix dry yeast with two deciliters of flour and add into oat milk.
  3. Add cane sugar, cardamom, and salt.
  4. Work flour by hand into the liquid little by little.
  5. Pour runny baking margarine into the dough when almost all of the flour has gone in.
  6. Note that the dough is supposed to be soft.
  7. Work the dough for 5 minutes until it is firm and doesn’t stick to the edges of your bowl.
  8. Cover and set to rise in a draft-free, warm spot until it has doubled its size. About half an hour.
  9. Pour the dough on a flour-dusted surface and knead it for ten minutes. Get rough with it!
  10. Cut the dough in two.
  11. Use a rolling pin to shape two rectangular sheets the size of 60 times 40 centimeters.
  12. Brush with runny vegan margarine, the sugar that has vanilla sugar mixed in it, and cinnamon.
  13. Roll up the sheet from the longer side and leave the seam underneath the roll.
  14. Cut each roll to 12  pieces in rough triangles (see the image in post)
  15. First slanted to the right, then left. So that the narrow end is about the width of your finger.
  16. Lift the pieces so that the narrow end is facing upwards.
  17. Press your finger in the middle so that it touches the table and simultaneously opens up the layers on both sides.
  18. Set the buns on parchment paper covered baking tray, cover with a cloth and let rise for 15 minutes.
  19. Brush with oat milk sugar liquid and sprinkle pearl sugar on top.
  20. Bake about 10 minutes in 225 degrees Celcius.

Notes

Freezes well. Place a cup of water or wet kitchen paper wrapped around the bun when microwaved as it prevents these goodies from drying.

Makes a perfect campsite snack, warm the cinnamon buns on a stick above the fire and enjoy with some vegan hot chocolate!
