This is a vegan version of already well-known cinnamon snails offered by one of the American chains. Although the original recipe is unknown to anyone, it is worth trying the homemade cinnamon rolls, which are no less tasty! Fluffy yeast dough, lots of cinnamon filling, and of course cream cheese topping.

Ingredients you need to make this vegan cinnamon roll for one:
Dough:
Plain flour – I used white spelt flour but you can substitute it with plain unbleached flour.
Baking powder – the rising agent.
Plant milk – My favorite is oat milk but of course, you can substitute with whatever milk you have on hand.
Pinch of salt – it’s needed to enhance and balance flavors.
Filling:
Almond butter – This recipe uses almond butter however you can substitute this with any other butter you like. Just keep in mind that it will be mixed with cinnamon. That’s why try to pick a nut butter that will enhance the flour of cinnamon not cover it!
Coconut oil – I don’t mind the flavour of coconut oil here but I made them before with vegan butter too.
Coconut sugar – If you don’t have coconut sugar just add any sugar you have on hand. I like coconut sugar for those extra nutritional properties. If I can eat a dessert with added nutritional value … ALL BETTER!
Cinnamon – You can commit if you don’t like the flavor of cinnamon
Glaze:
Icing sugar (maple syrup can be a great alternative)
Plant milk – again it is your choice.
Tahini – it is used for the glaze. I love tahini but if you don’t you can omit it.
Instructions:
– Preheat your oven to 180°C (about 350°F).
– Mix the dough ingredients until they come together in a smooth dough.
– In a separate bowl, combine the filling ingredients. If the coconut oil is liquid, let it cool a bit.
– Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape.
– Spread the filling over the dough, then roll it up gently.
– Grease a small ramekin or baking dish.
– If the rolled dough fits, place it in the ramekin. If not, slice the roll into smaller cinnamon rolls and arrange them.
– Bake for around 10 minutes, until the top is golden.
– While it bakes, whisk together the glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
– After baking, let your cinnamon roll cool a bit before generously drizzling the glaze on top.
EXPERT TIPS:
- Don’t Overmix the Dough: When mixing the dough, go for just until everything comes together. Overmixing can make the dough tough, and we want this cinnamon roll to be soft and fluffy.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room-temperature plant milk and coconut oil for the filling ensures a smoother and more even mixture and it would be easier to mix everything together fast.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the filling before spreading it on the dough. If you like it sweeter, feel free to add a bit more sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Be Mindful of the Roll Size: When rolling out the dough, try to make it evenly thick. This helps ensure all parts of your cinnamon roll bake at the same rate. However, don’t let perfection stop you from rolling this cinnamon rollout!
- Proper Greasing: Grease your ramekin or baking dish well to prevent sticking. You can use a bit of coconut oil or a non-stick cooking spray.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on your cinnamon roll while it’s in the oven. Baking times can vary slightly, so take it out when the top is nicely golden. I have overkooed it before and it was definitely not sift and fluffy 😉.
SUGGESTIONS:
- Experiment with Glaze: The glaze can be tailored to your taste. If you like it thicker, add more icing sugar. For a creamier texture, increase the amount of plant milk. I like to add a tiny bit of lime zest sometimes for a flavor twist.
- Customize Your Fillings: Get creative with the filling. Add crushed nuts, raisins, chocolate chips, or even a little bit og grated orange zest will give you an extra flavor.
- Enjoy Warm: Cinnamon rolls are at their best when warm. If you’re not eating it right away, a quick reheat in the microwave or a few minutes in the oven can bring back that fresh-from-the-oven feel.
- Share the Joy: While this is a cinnamon roll for one, it can easily be scaled up if you want to treat friends or family. Simply multiply the ingredients listed for the number of servings you need!
- Practice Makes Perfect: If your first attempt isn’t perfect, don’t worry. Baking can take a bit of practice, so keep trying, and you’ll get better with each batch.

Cinnamon rolls are among my top favorite treats! Yum!
So baking powder will do the same job as yeast?
Author
You could try to do it in a 1:1 ratio but remember that the leavening effects of baking powder will not be as distinct as those of yeast.
Oh my, these look so delicious even if not Vegan! Thanks for sharing such awesome recipes.

Oh, this was the perfect recipe! I can’t tell you how often I crave a cinnamon roll but don’t want to go through the effort of making a huge batch and finding something that’s eggless as well. These totally hit the spot without all the effort and I’m happy to not have 10 rolls leftover now either because I don’t need to eat these every day!
Author
Delighted to hear that 😉
These cinnamon rolls are SO much easier than the traditional ones! I normally avoid making them because of the effort but this one serving version is easy and hits that craving perfectly.
I was in the mood for some cinnamon rolls but did not want to make a big batch and these were so good! So easy to make and full of flavor!
Author
Well thank you 🙂
Delicious! Made these when a vegan friend came to visit and we both loved them. Will be making these again for sure!!
Author

I loved these! The fact that it was single serving and no rise made it a winner in my book.
