These cinnamon rolls are even better than my classic vegan cinnamon rolls, because they are made with chocolate. Everything is better with chocolate. The cocoa powder in the soft and fluffy dough goes so perfectly with the buttery cinnamon filling. Pro tip: make these Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls for the vegan baking skeptics in your life and I promise they will change their minds.
Ingredients:
dough:
360ml unsweetened plant-based milk of your choice
115g vegan margarine / vegan butter
2 tsp fast-action dry yeast
500g / 4 cups white bread flour + more to knead
70g / 1/2 cup white cane sugar
10g cocoa powder
filling:
1 tbsp cinnamon
2 tbsp vegan butter, room temp
2 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions:
In a saucepan over low heat, warm up the unsweetened plant-based milk of your choice with the vegan margarine/butter, until the margarine/butter is melted. Mix in the dry yeast, but be careful if the mixture is too hot it could kill the yeast, it should be lukewarm. Set it aside for 5 minutes or until the yeast is foamy.
Meanwhile, mix the flour and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
Add the yeast mixture to the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients.
Mix and knead for 10-15 minutes on a lightly floured, clean worksurface. The dough should be fluffy, soft and not sticky.
Place your dough into a bowl and cover it with a damp kitchen towel. Set aside, somewhere warm, and let the dough rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
To make the filling, mix together vegan butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Lightly flour your work surface and take the risen dough out of the bowl. Roll the dough out into a long rectangular shape.
Spread out the filling evenly on top of the dough.
Cut the dough into 7 vertical strips, then roll up each strip of dough starting from the side closest to you.
Place the chocolate cinnamon rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Let the rolls cool down completely before enjoying them.
