1. Before starting this recipe, make sure you have rapid-rise instant dry yeast. This type of yeast is important because it allows us to skip a few steps.
2. In a small bowl, warm the milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and butter in the microwave for 30-40 seconds. Add vanilla extract and yeast. Give it a light stir and set it aside for 5 minutes.
3. In the standing mixer bowl, sift and add the dry ingredients: whole wheat pastry flour, vital wheat gluten, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix on low with a dough hook for 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough will come together nicely, but it will be sticky to the touch because of the vital wheat gluten. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. After the 60 minutes, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
6. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the coconut sugar and ground cinnamon for the filling.
8. Brush the melted butter or coconut oil over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
9. Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape.
10. Using dental floss, cut the log into 8 or 12 equal slices. Place the slices in the greased baking dish.
11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden.
12. Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve the cinnamon rolls warm and enjoy!

Hi friends! I apologize for the oversight🤦🏽‍♀️. I completely forgot to include the most important step in the video, which is adding the vital wheat gluten. This ingredient is what provides the protein in this recipe. You can find the full and correct recipe in the description box of this video.

I can’t wait for you to try this recipe, I know you will love it as much as I do. If you try it, tag me on ig (FITVEGANCHEF) I would love to see your creations 🫶🏽

[tianag]

She does it again! I swear, my vegan meals would be so boring without Natalie 😂😂 Thank you for another great idea! Can't wait to try this!

[maryouellet]

I made this recipe many many time over and it’s so good !! But tonight I was craving donuts so I used your dough recipe to make oven bake donut holes and it was delicious it’s dryer than a deep fry donut but much healthier. Shaped the dough in small balls oil sprayed them and rolled them in the “sugary coating “ swerve brown sugar, 1 tablespoons of raw cane sugar, pumpkin spice spice.

[kristinf]

So thankful for a recipe without protein powder!!! 🙌

[louisborsato]

Wowza!! These look absolutely delicious! Can't wait to make them myself!

Thank you chef Natalie! Totally awesome!

Cheers

Hi, love this so much I'm getting hungry and is so delicious you are amazing pumpkins are amazing too have a nice day.

[robino]

All three variations look fantastic, though the pumpkin ones would be my favorite. 💙 Great job!

[ssfnp]

Delicious 🤤 the pumpkin spice roll would most likely be my favorite!! You're an amazing gorgeous baker 👩‍🍳 thank you for sharing ❤

[truvelocity]

I would add currents to my cinnamon roll filling.

[flauschtrud]

I have to try these tomorrow ❤

Just a remark: I found out by accident that your bagels need a lot more baking powder than I read in the recipe, but now that I see your "teaspoon" I understand why 😂 In Germany we don't have specific measurement spoons and all recipes tell the amount for standard eating tea and tablespoons. So I'd guess your teaspoon is twice the size of mine which explains why the bagels were a lot better when I accidentally put in the double amount 😅

[carnismiscancer]

I love cinnamon rolls! Thanks for the recipe! You're close to 70K subs!

[danaparker]

They all look delicious! I'd like to try the pumpkin spice ones first.

[RandyLe-cbeb]

Amazing friend can you do vegan chocolate cake?? I think trader Joe has it

[edus]

This is perfect! What a great timing, I have been craving cinnamon buns - not my usual thing to crave but my tesco doesn’t seem to stock the vegan cinnamon buns for a while now and this is a protein version, so it would be even better! It’s on the menu for the coming week! 😊

[tweety]

😮😮😮 got to make this this week. I might try adding chocolate chips

[firebird]

[lorellymobley]

As a fellow bikini competitor 3 weeks out from my next competition, I can’t wait to celebrate by making these after my last competition in November. Thank you for sharing ❤

[teagoldleaf]

[jackiehayling]
