Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Use a pastry cutter to cut in the vegan margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Pour in the soymilk gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to over mix; the dough should just come together.
4
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 8 inches by 16 inches (20 cm by 40 cm) and 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thick.
5
Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the dough with the melted margarine. Then, sprinkle the sucanat and ground cinnamon across the surface.
6
Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Gently cut the roll into 16 equal pieces, each about 1 inch (2 cm) thick.
7
Place the cut rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
9
While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by combining the softened margarine and powdered sugar in a bowl. Gradually add soymilk until you reach your desired consistency.
10
Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, immediately spread the icing on top while they are still warm for the best melt-in-your-mouth effect.
