Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Rolls

I haven't made cinnamon rolls in a while, so I gave them a twist by using pumpkin and chocolate.

These cinnamon rolls are the best I have ever made!  The pumpkin purée adds moistness and the dough is very easy to work with.  The pumpkin also adds the slightest color of orange! Very pretty.

The cream cheese frosting is rich and creamy - just perfect!

I highly suggest making these this weekend, they will warm your tummy on these cool autumn mornings.

Ingredients for dough:

2 1/4 teaspoons dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 3/4 cup organic unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup organic pumpkin purée 
1/2 cup organic almond milk
1/4 t organic pumpkin spice
1 teaspoon sea salt 
1 T organic pure cane sugar

Ingredients for filling:

3 T organic brown sugar
3 T organic pure cane sugar
2 T organic unbleached all-purpose flour
2 t organic cinnamon
2 T non-dairy butter
1/2 cup vegan mini chocolate chips

Frosting:

4 ounces of non-dairy cream cheese
1/4 cup organic confectioners sugar
1 t organic pure vanilla extract 

Method for dough:

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add yeast and water. Let sit for 5 minutes. Using the flat beater attachment on medium speed, beat in flour, pumpkin, milk, pumpkin spice, salt, and sugar until a dough forms.  Dough should come clean from the bowl. If it doesn't, you can add 1 T of extra flour at a time.  Continue on medium speed and knead the dough for another 5 minutes.

Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let rise 1 hour.

Method for filling:

In a small bowl combine sugars, flour, and cinnamon.  Using a fork, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
Set aside until dough is ready.

Method for continuing with dough:

Line a 9x9" square baking pan with unbleached parchment paper; set-aside.

Once dough has risen, roll out on a lightly-floured surface into a 12x10" square.  Sprinkle with sugar mixture, then with chocolate chips. Starting at one end, tightly roll into a log.  Seal seam and edges.

Cut roll into 1" inch pieces.  Place sliced into the square baking pan.  Cover with kitchen towel and let rise again for 30 minutes.

The second rising is very important, don't skip this step.


Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees

Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Method for frosting:

In a medium bowl combine cream cheese, sugar, and extract until smooth.

Frost cooled rolls, and enjoy!
