Step-by-Step Instructions

To Make the Dough:

1. Warm the dairy-free milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it’s warm but not hot to the touch.
2. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the light brown sugar and the active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until foamy.
3. Whisk together the flour, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
4. Combine the melted vegan butter and vanilla extract with the yeast mixture.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
6. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
7. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shaping the Cinnamon Rolls:

8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
9. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
10. Spread the softened vegan butter over the dough.
11. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar and ground cinnamon evenly over the butter.
12. Drizzle ¼ cup of melted Biscoff cookie butter over the top and scatter the crushed Biscoff cookies on.
13. Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log.
14. Slice the log into 1½ inch rolls and place them in a greased baking dish.
15. Cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.

How to Make the Icing:

16. Beat together the vegan cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
17. Stir in the melted Biscoff cookie butter and add 1-2 tablespoons of dairy-free milk until reaching your desired consistency.
18. Once the rolls are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the icing over the top.

Top Tips from Well-Known Chefs

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Always use room temperature dairy-free milk and butter for even mixing.
• Activate Yeast: Ensure your yeast is fresh by checking the expiration date; it should foam when mixed with warm milk.
• Don’t Overmix: When making the dough, mix until just combined to keep the rolls tender.
• Let it Rise: A proper rise time is key for fluffy rolls; be patient!

Storing and Reheating Tips

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezer: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not activating yeast: Always ensure yeast is bubbly before mixing into the dough.
• Rolling too tightly: Avoid over-tightening the roll to ensure each roll bakes evenly.
• Skipping resting times: Give your dough enough time to rise for the best texture.
• Missing the icing: Don’t underestimate the flavor impact of the icing—it’s a game changer!
