Step 1: Prep the Oven & Puff Pastry

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If using frozen puff pastry, let it thaw according to package instructions.

Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Filling

Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla sugar in a small bowl until well combined. Then, melt the butter in a microwave for only a few seconds. 

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Evenly brush the melted butter on the pastry, then spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the entire sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 4: Roll & Slice

Carefully roll the puff pastry into a tight log. Slice it into 1-inch-thick pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Brush the rolls' tops with some extra melted vegan butter before baking for a richer flavour. Then bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.

Step 6: Drizzle with Glaze

While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar with plant-based milk until smooth. If you want it thicker, add more powdered sugar, if it is too thick, add a teaspoon of oat milk to the mix. Once baked, pour the glaze over the cinnamon rolls, and enjoy!

I like mine with cold oat milk or dipped in it 🙂 Just like I ate pastries when I was a kid.

Try it, and let me know what you think!
