-
Step 1- Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease an 8x11 or 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
Step 2- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, stir together the water, yeast, and sugar. Set aside for 5 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy.
-
Step 3- Make the Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the coconut oil, almond milk, sugar, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture. Place the flour in a large bowl, then add the wet ingredients and stir until combined. The mixture will be sticky. Use your hands to roughly knead the mixture, then turn it out onto a floured surface. Knead 3 to 4 minutes until smooth, sprinkle with more flour if needed, and form into a ball.
-
Step 4- Let the Dough Rise: Brush a large bowl with coconut oil and place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
-
Step 5- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon.
-
Step 6- Roll the Dough: Punch down dough and roll out on a floured surface into a 20x14-inch rectangle. Brush with 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar to within ½ inch of the edges.
-
Step 7- Shape the Rolls: Starting at one of the short 14-inch ends, roll tightly into a log, then slice into 12 rolls. Place the rolls into the baking dish cut-side up, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
-
Step 8- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
Step 9- Make the Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons almond milk, and vanilla until smooth. If it's too thick, add more almond milk.
-
Step 10- Bake the Rolls: Bake the rolls 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly golden on top. Remove and allow to cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle the glaze on top and serve.
