Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll Dough Ingredients

1/2 cup cooked mashed sweet potatoes
1/2 cup almond milk
1/4 cup Vegan Butter melted, homemade or store-bought will work
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose gluten-free flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon sea salt

Cinnamon Roll Filling Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup Vegan Butter homemade or store-bought
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Roll Frosting Ingredients

1/2 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup cooked sweet potato
1/4 cup almond milk
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375℉. In a medium bowl, combine mashed sweet potato, almond milk, vegan butter, ground flaxseeds, maple syrup, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix the filling ingredients, coconut sugar, cinnamon, vegan butter, and vanilla, and set the mixture aside.
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.
Dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll out the dough into a 1-inch rectangle.
Spread the filling on top of the dough, leaving about a ¼ inch of space on the sides.
Roll the dough lengthwise into a log, pinching the ends closed. Cut the log into 2 inch-wide circles.
Arrange the rolls onto a greased pie plate or cake pan. Bake for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting.
Add all of the frosting ingredients to a blender. Process until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool completely. Drizzle the vegan frosting onto the rolls. Enjoy!
