My recipe for VEGAN CINNAMON MONKEY ROLLS! Very easy recipe that I put together in a breeze. Lots of gooey pictures inside!

These vegan rolls have a funky monkey topping made of peanut butter, bananas, cinnamon, raisins, and coconut oil. Yummy Yummy, and oh so comforting! I had a craving for cinnamon rolls one sunny morning, and had yet to make them since switching to a vegan diet, what came out was my version of a moist and flaky cinnamon roll with gooey monkey topping.

Baking and sweets in general have always been a comfort for me, it is what got me into the kitchen to help my grandma when I was younger, and inspired me to be a chef. I do not do as much baking now, but when I do it is sure to be a special treat. I whipped this batch up in no time with my monkey mind and you can too. I do not like to put to exact of ingredient amounts on my recipes, I like there to be room for your own interpretation. I hope you enjoy!

The Dough:
1c Non Dairy Milk, I used unsweetened almond
3T Coconut oil
1 Packet Active Yeast
1T Sugar, I used coconut sugar
1/2t sea salt
3 + Cups Flour
Cinnamon sprinkle

Cinnamon Sugar mixture (make this ratio depending on your own taste buds)

Gooey Monkey Topping:
2 Bananas, slightly brown and chunky
1 Spoonful of peanut butter, to taste
Raisins
1 T Coconut oil
Cinnamon to taste, I like a lot!
Pinch of Sea Salt

-So First lets set beautiful intentions to show respect to our food and to fill it with love and light, caring for it every step of the way. Yummy Yummy.

-So now we gather all of our ingredients and materials such as a large bowl, measuring toll, mixing tools and a pan to bake them (I used a 7x5). I would also turn your oven on now if it is not warm in your house and/or it is not very sunny outside, so you can use the warmth to help activate your yeast, otherwise it could stay off a bit.

-In a bowl combine about 3 cups of flour, your salt, cinnamon, and sugar. Set aside

• In a small saucepan add your non-airy milk, 3T coconut oil, and sprinkle of cinnamon. Heat this until about really warm/hot bath water temperature, not boiling, about 111 degrees. Not to hot or it will kill the yeast please. In a large bowl add the yeast, and then pour the heated mixture over it in the bowl. Let this sit about 5-10 minutes, depending on how warm your area is. Once it is nice and bubbly and fluffy looking it is ready.

• Start scooping in your flour mixture now, forming it into a nice ball that is not too sticky, you may need to add more flour or non-dairy milk to get it to a good consistency for you and the flour/milk combo you choose. Once it has come together place in a lightly oil bowl, roll over to cover top of dough as well.

-Place in a warm place for them to rise, and turn your oven on to 350. Remember your warm place could be the top of your oven. I placed mine outside and they soaked up the radiant sunshine. About 30 minutes- 1hr depending on your yeast and heat.

-Once it has about doubled in size, take it out of the bowl, and pat it out into a nice rectangular shape, not too thin or thick. Brush on some melted coconut oil, and sprinkle on your cinnamon sugar.

• Roll from the bottom up into a nice log

-Then carefully slice into rolls, and place into a lightly oiled pan

-Cover and place in your warm area to let rise again

-Then uncover and bake for about 25-30 min

-While these are baking you can start your topping

-Combine your bananas, peanut butter, coconut oil, cinnamon and salt in a small pan. Cook until the oil is melted, and everything is warm and combined.

-Pour this onto your cinnamon rolls when they come out. Serve warm and with a drizzle of maple or honey would be lovely! Coconut Flakes would also be a nice addition

Enjoy, you funky monkeys!
