Quick and Easy Mini-Cinnamon Rolls

[mbenedet]

What type of flour do you use that is 450 grams for 2 cups?  Standard flour, in the US anyway, is 30 grams per quarter cup, making 2 cups come in at 240 grams.

So I tried the recipe using the volume measurements, not mass (grams).  I ended up using 2.5 cups of flour (300 grams), half white/half whole wheat.  They turned out really good.  I think if you bake them in an 8" square pan then they might puff up into each other and be a bit softer, which could be what some people are looking for.  Thanks for a great recipe!

I tried this and it was excellent.  I misread the directions by accident and put the icing on then put them back in the oven but they still turned out to be good.  This is a keeper!!!!!!

yum!! these are really good. 3/4 cup soymilk turned out to be too much for me, because i couldn't really roll out my dough, but i still kind of mushed everything together for a semi-roll. i sprinkled the top with turbinado sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon, and used half whole wheat pastry flour and half white flour. delish!

YUM! Just made these and my boyfriend and I loved them. I used 1 cup white flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour, and I placed them all in a greased 8"x8" square pan, so as they cooked they squished together -- this makes them softer, and it is the only way I make any kind of roll. Next time, I will try using all whole wheat pastry flour, maybe add some oats or flax meal, raisins/nuts, and pumpkin pie spice. I also think it needs more icing, maybe 1-1/2 times the current icing recipe. But this recipe is definitely a keeper! Thanks!!

P.S. I didn't have Sucanat, so I used regular light brown sugar. Worked great.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but these were awful.  I couldn't even eat them.  They tasted like a stick of butter dipped in cinnamon.  They DON'T rise or get puffy even in a small dish--not the way traditional cinnamon rolls do.  In fact, they're small and gritty.  I'm really sorry but after reading all of the positive reviews, I was REALLY let down.  I won't make cinnamon rolls again unless it's with a yeast dough.

Wow, I'm REALLY surprised to hear you had such a poor experience, because I made them a second time around just yesterday, and yet again they were delicious. This time, I used whole wheat pastry flour, which did make them fall apart a little, but the flavor was great. Next time (which there will be, for me anyway) I'll do half whole wheat pastry flour, half regular wheat -- I'll post the results of those as well.

So I made these last night and they were good, but had an odd taste that I can't put my finger on.  Also, that is a LOT of margarine in the dough.  I might try cutting back on that and adding a bit of sugar to the dough to make it a bit sweeter.

These turned out great! Quick and easy, just like the title.

I used brown sugar and a cinnamon mix with nutmeg, orange peel, cloves, ginger, and allspice ("Cinnamon Plus" from Pampered Chef). Very positive reviews all around.

Maybe a dash too much margarine, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

this was a pretty good recipe...my family seemed to like it...i put a 1/4 cup of sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon into the dough and then used only a tablespoon of brown sugar and  cinnamon for the filling...and i forgot to make the icing at all also, i didnt have any flour except all purpose so i used 2cups of that.
even with all the changes the dough was tasty and the rolls were manageable....strike that...reverse it

2 cups of flour was not enough for me, as I added 1/2 cup of raisins and 1/2 cup of walnuts.  I used 3/4 cup of brown sugar (instead of 1/4), and I used 3 cups of whole wheat flour. I also added 2 tablespoons of applesauce to the bread dough mixture.

I also had to oil my hands before dealing with the dough mixture. Otherwise, it is impossible to get the dough off the flat surface and/or your hands.

Otherwise, this was an excellent recipe. I loved it!

This is seriously my new favorite recepie.
It was really easy and it tastes SO GOOD.
My whole family had some and they didn't know it was vegan, my grandma even said, "it just tastes like good food."

[oexoskeletalx]

i made these, and they reminded me much of the non-vegan ones. extremely good!
