Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 3 ½ - 4 cups flour
  • ¼ cup vegan cane sugar (can sub with agave or maple syrup)
  • 1 package instant yeast (1 package = 2 ¼ tsp)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ cup vegan butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup vegan eggnog, warm (NOT HOT!)

For the Eggnog Filling

  • ½ cup vegan butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg

For the Vegan Eggnog Glaze

  • ¼ cup vegan eggnog, warm
  • 2 oz vegan white chocolate chips, melted
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl or a stand mixer, combine 3 ½ cups flour, sugar, yeast, salt and nutmeg.
  • Turn stand mixer onto low and add in the vegan eggnog.
  • Add in the vegan butter and let go for 5-7 minutes, adding in the remaining flour if needed to not be sticky and form a ball.
  • Once ball is formed, grease the same bowl mixed in and place the dough ball back into the bowl. 
  • Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let sit for 60-90 minutes in a warm, draft free place until doubled.
  • Once dough is doubled in size, pull out the dough and lay it out on a lightly floured surface.  
  • Using a rolling pin, roll dough into an approximately 17×25″ rectangle that is ¼″ thick.  
  • For the filling - in a bowl, cream the butter. Then, add brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until a well combined paste forms.
  • Spread the filling mixture evenly over the dough. 
  • Carefully roll cinnamon rolls into log from the longest side up. One completely rolled, place seam side down. Cut into 12 even sized pieces.
  • Place into a greased 9x13 baking dish and cover to rise for 45-60 minutes or until cinnamon rolls are touching.
  • Preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Once heated, place dish inside and bake in oven for 30-35 minutes.

For the Vegan Eggnog Glaze

  • While rolls are cooking, whisk together the vegan eggnog and melted white chocolate.
  • Add in ½ cup powdered sugar at a time, whisking after each. Whisk until well combined.
  • Remove rolls from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before topping with frosting.
  • Best served warm.

**The photos show a frosting but the recipe calls for a glaze.  This is because when tasting, a frosting was too sweet so we updated to just be a glaze.
