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.

- 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 1/2 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.
