Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375℉. In a medium bowl, combine mashed sweet potato, almond milk, vegan butter, ground flaxseeds, maple syrup, and vanilla.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the filling ingredients, coconut sugar, cinnamon, vegan butter, and vanilla, and set the mixture aside.

Step 3

Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a large bowl, then mix well. Add the sweet potato mixture, and mix well until a smooth dough is formed.

Step 4

Dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll out the dough into a 1-inch rectangle.

Step 5

Spread the filling on top of the dough, leaving about a ¼ inch of space on the sides.

Step 6

Roll the dough lengthwise into a log, pinching the ends closed. Cut the log into 2 inch-wide circles.

Step 7

Arrange the rolls onto a greased pie plate or cake pan. Bake for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting.

Step 8

Add all of the frosting ingredients to a blender. Process until the frosting is smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool completely. Drizzle the vegan frosting onto the rolls. Enjoy!
