US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl add the self-rising flour, vanilla yogurt, and melted plant-based butter. If your yogurt is unsweetened, you can add 1/4 cup of sugar to sweeten the dough.
Stir with a rubber spatula, and when it starts to look crumbly, lightly oil your hands and knead to form a dough ball. If it is too wet, add a bit more flour. If too dry, add a bit more yogurt. You can also prepare this cinnamon roll dough in a stand mixer using the dough hook attachment. Work at speed speed 3-4 until a dough ball forms.
Lightly flour a work surface and place the dough on it. Sprinkle extra flour on top of the dough and roll into a 12.5-inch x 10.5-inch rectangle shape.
Spread the softened butter evenly onto the rectangle.
In a small bowl, whisk cinnamon and coconut sugar. Sprinkle the mixture and press it evenly onto the buttered dough.
Roll from the long side to form a cylinder.
Use a serrated knife or an unflavored dental floss string to cut 9 pieces from the cylinder.
Place each roll with the swirl facing up on the prepared baking dish.
Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until golden brown on top.
Cool down at room temperature on a wire rack before icing.
To glaze, stir 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk and drizzle on top of the rolls.

Notes

Note 1: To make 1 cup of homemade self-rising flour, stir 1 cup of all-purpose flour with two teaspoons of baking powder. I haven't tried gluten-free flour and can't guarantee it works. You can't use almond flour for this recipe.

Note 2: Any kind of plant-based yogurt can be used, almond yogurt, oat yogurt, or soy yogurt. If your yogurt is unsweetened, you can add 1/4 cup of white sugar to the flour.

Note 3: You can use melted margarine, but avoid oil. It makes the dough less fluffy. I didn't try the recipe fat-free.

Note 4: You can use any dark sugar, brown sugar, soft brown sugar, or demerara sugar.

Storage: Place the cinnamon rolls on a plate, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and place it in the fridge for 3-4 days.
