Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup dairy-free milk (225g, warm but not hot to the touch, about 115°F)
- ¼ cup light brown sugar (50g, divided)
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (8g)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (365g)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (4g)
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp vegan butter (45g, melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (2g)
Filling Ingredients
- ½ cup light brown sugar (85g, loosely packed)
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (12g)
- 3 tbsp softened vegan butter (45g)
- ¼ cup melted Biscoff Cookie Butter
- 5–6 crushed Biscoff cookies
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (3g, optional)
Icing Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegan cream cheese (softened slightly)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (130g)
- 2 tbsp melted Biscoff Cookie Butter
- 1–2 tsp dairy-free milk (as needed)
- Activate the Yeast. Mix the warm dairy-free milk and half of the brown sugar together (milk should be about 115°F). Sprinkle in the active dry yeast, stir quickly, and let it sit for 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
- Make the Dough. In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, vanilla extract, and melted vegan butter. Stir until the dough forms a ball, which will be slightly sticky.
- Knead the Dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, adding a tablespoon of flour as needed, until the dough is soft, smooth, and no longer sticky.
- Let the Dough Rise. Cover the dough with a damp towel and place it in a warm location for 1 ½ hours until it doubles in size.
- Roll out the Dough. Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a ball. Flatten it to form a 6-inch diameter disk, then roll it into a 12” by 7” rectangle approximately ¼ inch thick on a floured surface or parchment paper.
- Prepare and Spread the Filling. In a small bowl, mix the melted cookie butter, softened vegan butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a ½ inch border around all edges. Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies evenly on top.
- Shape the Rolls and Second Rise. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into eight 1 ½ inch thick rolls. Place the rolls in a prepared baking dish, cover with a damp cloth, and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes until about 1.5 times their original size.
- Bake the Rolls. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while the rolls complete their second rise. Bake the rolls for 20-23 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top.
- Make the Icing. While the rolls bake, whisk together vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, melted Biscoff cookie butter, and dairy-free milk in a small bowl until smooth enough to drizzle. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk for thinning or powdered sugar to thicken as needed.
- Finish and Serve. Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool slightly before spreading the icing on top. For extra indulgence, drizzle additional melted cookie butter and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies over the frosting before serving.
Notes
- Warm the dairy-free milk to roughly 115°F (warm to the touch but not hot), which helps activate the yeast without killing it.
- If you don’t have vegan butter, you can substitute with a neutral oil but the texture and flavor may differ slightly.
- The second rise is important for soft, fluffy rolls; avoid rushing this step.
- Adjust the icing consistency gradually to ensure it can be drizzled but isn’t too runny or thick.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days. Reheat gently before serving.
