Ingredients

For the dough

3 ½ - 4 cups flour (we prefer bread, can use all-purpose or whole wheat - see post for details)
1 package instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups dairy free milk (we like oat - can use any non-strongly flavored dairy free milk)
¼ cup maple syrup (see post about other sugar source options)

For the Filling

½ cup vegan butter, melted
¾ cup brown sugar
4 tablespoon cinnamon

For the Pecan Topping

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup vegan butter
2 tablespoon vegan milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups flour, yeast, and salt.
Then, add in the dairy free milk and maple syrup.
Using a spatula, fold until mostly combined. Sprinkle a little more 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.
*If you are oil free, then just make sure sides of bowl are floured, or use a silicone bowl to easily get it out
Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let sit for 60-90 minutes in a warm, draft free place until doubled.
Once 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.
Brush melted butter on top and then sprinkle evenly the brown sugar and cinnamon.
Carefully roll cinnamon rolls into log from the longest side up. One completely rolled, place seam side down. Cut into 9 even sized pieces.
On the stove, add the brown sugar, vegan butter, milk and vanilla. Heat over low, stirring until the brown sugar and vegan butter have melted. Stir in the pecans.
Pour the pecan mixture into a greased 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish and spread evenly.
Place the cut cinnamon rolls on top.
Cover and let rise another 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes.
When done, carefully (They will be very hot) invert the pan onto a plate or cake pedestal.
Let cool for 5 minutes and serve.
