We love a good cinnamon roll, it’s no secret. We have over 3 dozen varieties here on our site.
However, we also love recreating recipes into new things in order to not waste any food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still make these if I don’t have a vegan sweet potato pie?
Maybe you like the idea of these but you don’t have a vegan sweet potato pie. We totally get it and we have a simple solution.
You can mix together:
- 1 large cooked sweet potato (about 1 cup of mashed sweet potato)
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
Put a quarter of the mixture inside the dough and put the rest as the filling.
Also crumble graham crackers into the dough and across the top of the filling mixture. We’d say 1-2 inside the dough and 2-3 across the top.

Yes! If you made vegan pumpkin pie instead of sweet potato pie, then you can use the same instructions below.

Yes! You sure can! There are two options.
