Pumpkin rolls:
- 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 4 1/2 tsp yeast
- 1/2 cup unsalted vegan butter, softened
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cups plant-based milk, divided
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- pinch of salt
Cinnamon filling:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted vegan butter, softened
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree (added on top of cinnamon filling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F degrees.
Making the dough:
- Start by activating the yeast with 1 cup non-dairy milk. Stir in the yeast and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
- In the large bowl, combine flours, sugar, salt, pumpkin puree and vegan butter. While mixing, slowly add in yeast/milk mixture. Add flour until the dough starts forming.
- Transfer to a floured surface and knead the dough for about 3 minutes. Shape into a ball and place back in the bowl. Cover the dough, and place in a warm area of your house for 1 hour.
Cinnamon Filling:
- For the cinnamon sugar, combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
Assemble the rolls:
- When the dough has risen, roll out onto a floured covered surface into a large rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly to the edges and add a layer of pumpkin puree on top.
- Starting at the bottom of the rectangle, roll dough evenly into a tight roll. With your fingers press together the seam. Seam side down, cut dough using a serrated knife into mini pieces.
- Bake the rolls for 10-12 minutes in a mini muffin tin until they are lightly golden brown.
Orange Icing:
- While the rolls are baking, prepare icing. Whisk together all the ingredients for about 1 minute, until the icing is smooth.
- Once the rolls are done, spread icing all over the rolls. Enjoy while they’re warm!
