Soy Free Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

These are so easy to make and taste so warm and comforting.  I had to share the recipe.  My girls and I like to eat the cinnamon rolls without the icing....sooo yummy.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of all purpose flour

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 3 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• 3 tbsp dairy free margarine or coconut oil

• ½ cup of dairy free plain milk

• ¼ cup of applesauce

Gluten Free Option:

• Substitute 2 cups of flour for 2 cups of Gluten Free all purpose flour + 1 tsp Xantham gum.

Filling:

¼ cup sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

Icing:

2 tbsp dairy free margarine or coconut oil

¼ tsp vanilla

¼ cup confectioners sugar

1 tsp milk

Instructions:

1.Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2.Mix the all purpose flour, 2 tbsp sugar, baking powder, salt, DF margarine or coconut oil, dairy free plain milk, and applesauce.

3.Mix until dough forms.

4.Place the dough on a very floured surface and knead the dough into a ball. I like to use a cookie shet as the surface because it supports me in rolling the dough into a rectangle.

5.Dust the ball of dough with flour.

6.Roll the dough into a rectangle about 10×8 inches. About ¾ of the cookie sheets length.

7.Spread melted margarine or melted coconut oil on the dough.

8.Mix cinnamon and sugar.

9.Sprinkle over the dough.

10.Roll the dough tightly starting from the 10 inch edge.

11.Cut the roll in half, then cut each half in half again and finally cut each piece into three to end up with 12 buns.

12.Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

13.Ice with homemade icing.

14.For icing mix all the ingredients with an electric beater until frosting forms.

15.Ice buns while warm

Using half the ingredients yields about 6 cinnamon buns.

I will post a picture soon.  Unfortunately, they were all eaten up before I could snap a pic.  They actually taste really good even without the icing.  My girls prefer to eat them without.
