Making vegan cinnamon rolls from scratch is gratifying but time-consuming. This is my cheater method that takes about 25 minutes to make.
If you're my Facebook friend, you've probably seen me talk about making cinnamon rolls pretty much every weekend for the past month. This is because of an amazing discovery that I can't believe I only sorted out one month ago!
Here's the thing: a lot of those store-bought tubes of crescent rolls are vegan. Just do some careful label-reading, since recipes change and different varieties can have dairy in them. But it should be pretty easy to find some kind of crescent rolls that are free of animal products.
Basically, these vegan cinnamon rolls are a cross between crescent rolls and cinnamon toast.

Those do look incredibly dangerous. I'm going to forget I saw this 😉

That is probably best. Nothing to see here!

Eeep! What a great idea! This could be dangerous for my weekend health though... 🙂

It has been totally dangerous for us. In a delicious way, but still. I think I need to start setting limits on how often we can call these breakfast...they are not exactly health food!
