Ingredients for Vegan Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls

Get your ingredients together!

Variations and Substitutions:

Bread flour -all purpose flour could also be used.
yeast - You can also use active yeast, but it will take longer for it to rise.
sugar,granulated coconut Sugar or date sugar can be used
strawberries could be substituted for other berries such as blueberries, raspberries or mixed berries. You can use frozen strawberries, but make sure that the juices are absorbed during thickening.
cornstarch is a substitute for cornstarch.arrowroot powder can be used as a sub-substitution.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1 Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together. This is best done in a stand mixer. However, you can do it by hand.

Step 2 Add your wet ingredients to the bowl. Let your stand mixer work for about 5-7 minutes.

You can use a stand mixer to make this dough or you can do it by hand. The goal is for the ball to form and the dough not to stick to the sides of your bowl.

The dough should be smooth and not sticky when you touch it with your finger. This is when you may need to add flour.

Step 3 Once you have formed your dough ball, you will need to take it out, grease the bowl and cover it with a towel for rising.

Tip: It takes approximately 60-90 minutes for your dough to double in size. However, you should be careful with the timer.

Step 4 Once your dough has doubled, you can continue with the recipe.

Step 5 - While you wait for the dough to rise, prepare the filling. Place your diced fresh strawberries in a saucepan and cook on medium heat until the juices start to flow. Stir frequently

Step 6 Mix sugar and cornstarch together and stir well. Let the mixture thicken. Remove from heat.

Step 7 Stir in the cinnamon.

Step 8 After you have made a thickened mixture, transfer it to a bowl. Let it cool completely before proceeding.

Step 9Roll your dough into a rectangle on a silicon mat or lightly floured surface.

Step10: Spread your cooled filling mix evenly across the surface, leaving about 1" border around.

Step 11 Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces using a pizza cutter. Roll each piece from the bottom up.

Another option is to roll the whole log and then cut the pieces.

Step 12 Place each piece on a parchment-lined, lightly greased 9x13 baking pan. Cover the dish and let it rise until double. Cinnamon rolls should touch.

Step 13 - After all cinnamon rolls are risen and have touched all sides, bake your cinnamon rolls for 30-35 min

Step 14 - Once your cinnamon rolls are cooked, take them out of the oven and let cool for a while before frosting.

Questions about recipes:

These can I prepare ahead of time?

Yes! You sure can! You have two choices:
After you have made the dough, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rise for at least 2 days.
You can make the whole recipe and store the cinnamon rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

These top 8 allergens can I be free from?

This vegan gluten-free cinnamon roll recipe can be used. Just add this filling.
You can use any other dairy-free milk (Oat is our favorite), and any soy-free butter (Earth Balance soy-free for example).

Do I need to use a mixer stand?

You can, however, knead the dough by hand for about 9-12 minutes. This is at the step that says "allow stand mixer for 5-7 minutes". The texture should be consistent - it shouldn't be sticky. When kneading byhand, it is easy to over-flour. Be sure to not add more flour than you are allowed to.

Equipment

1 9x13 pan

Ingredients

The Dough

5 - 5 1/2 cups bread flour (600-660g)
1/2 cup vegan cane sugar
2 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast (1 package)
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoon vegan butter, softened (85g)
2 cups dairy free milk, warmed to 110-115F (454g)

For the Filling

1 3/4 cup fresh strawberries, diced small (220g)
1/4 cup vegan cane sugar (50g)
1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch (can sub arrowroot powder)
2 teaspoon cinnamon

Lemon Glaze

2 cups powdered sugar (230g)
4-5 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

For the dough

Mix 5 cups bread flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and yeast in a large bowl with a stand mixer.
Next, add the vegan butter and dairy-free milk. Turn the mixer on low. Let it run for about 5-7 minutes. Add in the flour if necessary. Form a ball.
Once the ball is formed, grease the same bowl and return the dough ball to the bowl.
Wrap the towel in plastic wrap or paper and allow to rest for 60 to 90 minutes in a warm place, free from drafts.

Filling

Stir strawberries in a small saucepan over medium-low heat for 4 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch and granulated sugar, and continue stirring for 2 more minutes. The mixture will thicken. Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the cinnamon. Then, transfer to a heatproof container or bowl and let cool until you are ready to use. Spread the filling on the dough slowly so it doesn't get too warm.
After the dough has doubled in size you can pull it out and place it on a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough out using a rolling pin to form a rectangle measuring approximately 12x24 inches in size and 1/4 inch thick. Place the cooled filling evenly on the dough.
From the longest side, roll into a log. Once you have rolled one log, place it seam-side down. Cut into 12 even sized pieces.
Cover with a greased 9x13 baking pan. Cover with a lid and let rise for another 45-60 minutes, or until it is ready to be touched.
Heat to 350°F.
After heating, return the dish to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.

Glaze

While the rolls are being cooked, whisk together the powdered Sugar and Lemon Juice until it is well combined.
Let cinnamon rolls cool in the oven for 10 minutes. Finish by topping with the homemade glaze. Serve warm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to lose weight with a plant-based diet?

Yes, you can lose weight with a plant-based lifestyle. It is possible to get enough volume from eating a variety fruit and vegetable, legumes, fruits, nuts, seeds, and other protein-rich plants without adding any extra calories. A well-rounded vegan meal plan is usually low in saturated fat and cholesterol-containing foods like red meat and processed snacks that tend to add weight instead of take it away. Additionally, research shows that following a plant-based diet may help boost metabolism and lower some risk factors for obesity, such as inflammation. Healthy ingredients rich in fiber can help you lose weight while providing essential vitamins and minerals your body requires.

Is a plant-based diet harmful?

Although many people have seen health benefits from a plant-based diet in the past, it is important to understand that any diet can be dangerous if it is not properly managed or with the help of a professional. When switching to a plant-based diet, it is important to ensure that proper vitamin and mineral intake is taken, including B12, iron and zinc. Eating an unbalanced diet without replacements for these substances can cause deficiencies and negative health impacts. In addition, living a vegan/plant based lifestyle may mean that you are unable to consume the valuable protein found in eggs and dairy. This could affect your muscle maintenance. Plant-based diets should be adjusted to meet individual needs. If necessary, a nutritionist or doctor can be consulted.

Can I eat eggs while following a plant-based lifestyle?

A plant-based diet does not allow eggs. This dietary lifestyle eliminates all animal products, including meat, fish, poultry, and eggs. However, many vegan alternatives to traditionally egg-centric dishes can be found that offer the same taste and texture but don't use animal products. Tofu scrambles, omelets, and chickpea flour are excellent breakfast dishes that look and feel like eggs. However, they also contain plant-based proteins. You can use aquafaba (the liquid found inside a can chickpeas) to substitute eggs for vegan egg whites when making meringues. Non-vegan recipes can also be preserved without losing their flavor by using egg substituters such as flaxseed meal, chia seeds or chia seeds with water instead of one large egg.

Are supplements necessary for a plant-based diet or are they optional?

While a healthy, balanced plant-based diet can provide all necessary nutrients for good health and well-being, you should supplement with certain micronutrients to correct any potential deficiencies. Vitamin B12 is critical for the health of the brain and nervous systems. Although it is only available from animals, supplemental forms may be beneficial to vegans or vegetarians. Additionally, many foods on a plant-based diet lack enough iron and zinc, two minerals important for healthy metabolism, red blood cell production, tissue growth, and repair. Omega 3 fatty acids also play an essential role in normal body processes, such as controlling inflammation and proper brain function. Many plant-based food sources lack omega-3s because of their biochemical property. Supplementation might help to ensure that this important nutrient is in a balanced balance. Lastly, calcium is very important to maintain strong bones but can also be found in limited amounts through plants like broccoli or kale; consider taking a separate supplement if you're struggling to meet your daily calcium goals from food alone. It is always a good idea not to introduce new supplements without first consulting your doctor.

How can you replace meat with a plant-based diet

There are many creative vegan alternatives that can replace meat in a plantbased diet. Tofu, seitan, tempeh (fermented soy beans), and mock duck made out of mushrooms can replicate the taste of traditional meats. Vegetarian burgers made from black beans and quinoa can also be as good as beef burgers. Additionally, coconut bacon strips or eggplant bacon bits; tofu mayo; veggie hot dogs made with seasoned textured soy protein; and faux chicken strips from wheat gluten offer tasty alternatives that do not require animal products. You can alter recipes to use fruits, vegetables, beans, seeds and nuts as well as vegetables and grains. Alternative cooking methods like steaming, roasting, and grilling are also great ways to enjoy plant-based meals without sacrificing savoriness.

What are some alternatives to meat protein?

Protein is an important component of a healthy diet. It can be found in both animal- and plant-based sources. You can find plant-based protein in legumes, nuts, seeds, grains and beans. Due to the high levels of antioxidants found in many fruits, vegetables, and other plants, eating more can provide anti-inflammatory benefits. Some dairy substitutes, such as almond or oat milk, are fortified with proteins, making a great plant-based alternative to cow's milk. Alternatives like nutritional yeast and pumpkin seeds can be used to add a creamy flavor to dishes, while providing more micronutrients as compared with their animal-based counterparts. Vegan protein powders for smoothies and shakes are great options for adding nutrition without having to eat animal products.

Can you get enough protein on a plant-based diet?

Yes, you can get enough nutrition from plant-based foods. You can get amino acids from legumes, nuts, seeds and grains to help build muscle and keep you healthy. Tofu, and other soybean products, contain all 9 essential amino acid that the body cannot make. Combining legumes and grains with vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and kale can provide sufficient protein to ensure adequate nutrition. Plant-based proteins tend to have lower levels in saturated fats than animal protein and can be used to support long-term satiety. Flaxseeds and chia seeds, walnuts and hemp seeds all contain omega-3 fatty acid, which can be used to balance the other nutrients in a plant-based diet.

How To

How to move to a plant diet without feeling overwhelmed

It can seem overwhelming to make the switch to a plant-based diet. However, education and preparation are key. Take baby steps and slowly incorporate changes into your diet. Opt for whole foods rather than processed substitutes, as they are generally healthier and more filling.

When it comes to meal prep and planning, dedication yields maximum results - consider mapping out meals in advance so that you know what to shop for and how much time to allocate for each dish. The best kitchen appliances, such as multi-cookers or slow cookers, can make it easier to use. Batch cooking means you can have multiple meals ready in a single go.

Keep trying new flavors and try them out. Try different cuisines to add variety to your vegetarian diet. Instead of shopping impulse at the grocery store, create a grocery plan that is based on recipes. Making the switch to a healthier lifestyle will be easy with the right ingredients, preparation tips, and a few simple tricks.
