I'm finally back! Sorry it has been so long, my camera has been out of commission but it's time now to jump back on the horse and get to posting. I'll start with these EASY cinnamon rolls - not a yeast dough! And they taste great! I made them for my roommates and they loved them. They're perfect for a sunday morning brunch or even for dessert. Try them!

Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

2 cups flour (450 g)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons earth balance
3/4 cup soy milk
2 tablespoons melted margarine
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Icing:
1 teaspoon margarine, softened
1 cup vegan powdered sugar
soy milk

Mix dry ingredients first, then cut in margarine.

Mix in soy milk until dough is soft (you may need slightly more or less to get the dough to a workable consistency). Do not over mix!

Roll dough to 0.25 inch thickness (0.5 cm) in a long rectangle -- about 8 inch by 16 inch (16cm x 32 cm). Using a pastry brush, coat the rectangle of dough with the melted margarine. Then spread the Sucanat and cinnamon over it.

Roll from the long end, forming a tight roll. Cut rolls about 1 inch (2 cm) thick. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 15 mins or until golden.

While rolls are baking, make icing by mixing margarine and powdered sugar. Slowly add soy milk to reach desired consistency. spread on rolls while they are still warm.
