These no yeast vegan pumpkin cinnamon rolls take just 45 minutes to make and require no rise time. Perfect for wanting homemade vegan cinnamon rolls quickly.
People love yeast-free cinnamon rolls and so we wanted to bring a fall spin on a classic. These no yeast vegan pumpkin cinnamon rolls are going to be your new favorite.
There are two things people wish they could change about making homemade vegan cinnamon rolls.
Working with yeast and the rise time.
We completely get it. Yeast can be intimidating, especially if you aren’t use to working with it.
And the rise time. Well, sometimes we just don’t like waiting 2 hours for some homemade cinnamon rolls.
Have no worries, because we have you covered.
We made delicious no yeast vegan pumpkin cinnamon rolls that come together in just 45 minutes.
We want to make something clear though, especially, if you have tried one of our other cinnamon rolls that do contain yeast. These are not as fluffy as those, specifically because there is nothing to make them rise and get that fluffy.
Nonetheless, they are delicious and will fill any cinnamon roll craving that you may be having.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make yeast free vegan pumpkin cinnamon rolls Top 8 Allergen Free?
For the dough and filling there is flour, vegan butter and dairy free milk.
For the milk, choose one that works for your allergies, we like oat so that’s usually good for everything.
For the butter, we recommend going with Earth Balance soy free in the red tub if there are soy allergies.
We have not tested this recipe with gluten free flour, but based on other testing it should work, it would just be more dense as gluten free flour has a tendency to be.
We have found that King Arthur’s Measure for Measure flour works best when switching out a gluten flour.
For the frosting, it is a cashew based frosting so nuts, as well as coconut are a concern. If those are a concern for you, we would recommend just making half the amount of our vegan buttercream frosting and follow the tips about the vegan butter above.
How long are yeast free vegan pumpkin cinnamon rolls good for?
These yeastless cinnamon rolls would be best stored in an air tight container at which point they would be good for 3-5 days. Warming up being serving is recommended.

Yes, you can either freeze them before baking or after they are done once they had had enough time to cool down (come to room temperature).

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Grease an 8×8 baking dish.
For the Dough

- Heat up dairy free milk and melt butter just until warm. Pour the milk, butter, and apple cider vinegar and pumpkin into the bowl and stir to combine. Do not over mix.
- Lightly flour surface and pour out the dough onto it. Knead the dough and then shape it into a smooth ball. Add more flour on top as needed to prevent sticking.
- Using a rolling pin, roll dough out to a 10×14" rectangle.
For the Filling
- In a bowl, make the filling by combining brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon and then stirring in vegan butter and vanilla.
- Spread the filling evenly over the dough
- On one of the longest sides, rough the dough to the opposite side.Cut rolls evenly into 9 pieces, about 1 ½ inches apart
- Place rolls in greased pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through until you see golden brown on some of the rolls.
For the Frosting
- While the rolls are baking, make frosting by creaming together the vegan butter and cream cheese.
- Add in the powdered sugar and beat again.
- Add in ½ of the dairy free milk and all of the almond extract. Beat again.
- If you want it thinner, add the remaining 2 tablespoon dairy free milk until desired consistency.
- Remove rolls and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Pour over the frosting as desired.

Cooked down the rest of the pumpkin puree (with ~1/4 cup brown sugar and cinnamon/nutmeg/ginger) and used that instead for the filling to use up the rest of the can and add more pumpkin flavor — my husband called them “more ish” because they leave you wanting more.
Thank you so much for this recipe! We’re a dairy free household and it’s nice to have recipes where the subbing is done on purpose.

Sounds wonderful!

LarishaBernard
Yes you could

I could not wait to make these Christmas morning. Thank you for a simple and oh so satisfying recipe! They were more than worth the wait and loved by all who ate them! I subbed in whole wheat pastry flour for half the amount of flour so I wouldn’t feel too guilty baking them as sticky buns in a salted caramel pecan sauce. lol Tender, pillowy, not too sweet and perfect for an indulgent morning treat without the investment of multiple hours. A win for me and my family and a new staple for our Christmas brunch table! Thanks again and blessings to you and yours in the New Year! 😊
