Grandma Lynn’s Festive Cinnamon Rolls

Given that I normally eat these for Thanksgiving or Christmas, I would normally post this recipe in the winter, around the holiday season; however, with everyone’s new bread-baking obsession, I figured that now would be a wonderful time to introduce you to my mother’s famous Cinnamon Rolls.

This recipe has been in our family for generations. When I was a child, my mother used to make these cinnamon rolls for the holidays. When my siblings and I were old enough, she would enlist us to help her, giving us the fun jobs of rolling the cinnamon sugar on the rolls. Then, when my kids were born, she enlisted their help too, giving them the same fun jobs. Ever since, we’ve been keeping the tradition alive making these cinnamon rolls year after year. They never fail to impress and they make enough to feed a large crowd.

Not to mention these rolls require some kneading, so if you happen to have some quarantine stress, go ahead and take in out on that dough! I find that working with bread and dough is a HUGE stress relief for me. I even found myself a sourdough starter so get excited for some sourdough recipes that might be coming soon. If you don’t know how to knead dough, I found this video that is quick and easy to follow.

 

This is a great dish to make with your family and is a wonderful way to spend some of that extra time you might have on your hands. I really have fun with this recipe and I hope you do too!

  • Category: Breakfast, Dairy Free, Egg Free, Nut Free, Sweets, Vegan

Ingredients

Dough Mixture

  • 2 Yeast Packets
  • 1/2 c Warm Water
  • 2 Equivalent Egg Replacer
  • 2 c Non-Dairy Milk
  • 1/2 c Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tsp. Salt
  • 1/2 c Melted Non-Dairy Butter
  • 7 1/2 c Flour

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

  • 1 c Melted Non-Dairy Butter
  • 1 c Sugar
  • 4 tsp. Cinnamon

Instructions

Make the Dough

  1. Mix together the yeast packets and the warm water in a medium bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Next, mix your 2 equivalent eggs and set aside for 5 minutes. Melt the butter and let it sit until it reaches room temperature. While you are waiting, combine the non-dairy milk, sugar, and salt in a small bowl and add to the yeast mixture and mix until just blended. Slowly add the egg replacer and the melted butter and mix. Once mixed, slowly add the flour, one cup at a time, until it forms a dough mixture. Knead it on a floured surface for a few minutes. Then, place the dough in a greased bowl. Wet a towel with warm water and cover the bowl.
  2. Let sit until it rises. Punch it down, knead again and place back in the greased bowl. Place a warm towel over the bowl again. Let it rise one more time and knead again. Set aside while you make your cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Making the Cinnamon Sugar

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a sheet pan.
  2. Next, melt the non-dairy butter in one bowl. Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a separate bowl. Pull or cut 1/2 inch pieces from the dough. Dip the dough in the butter and then the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Pull, twist, and place on the pan.
  3. Once your pan/pans are full, place in oven and cook for 18-20 minutes.
