Normally you would use cinnamon, but I like the Garam Masala spice blend to add a more complex flavor which you wouldn’t expect. These buns are super soft and sweet enough that you definitely don’t need frosting or glaze… Though something I like to do is turn these into ice cream sandwiches, such a great dessert. Hope you give them a try.

What you’ll Need
| amount | Unit | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| 2 ½ | TSP | Active DryYeast |
| ½ | C | Almond Milk (warmed to 110°F) |
| ⅔ | C | Sugar (divided) |
| 7 | TBSP | Vegan Butter or Coconut oil (divided and softened) |
| 1 | LRG | Egg (Room Temperature) |
| 2 ½ | C | All Purpose Flour |
| ½ | TSP | Salt |
| 2 | TSP | Garam Masala Spice |
Let’s get started
- In a bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment add the Almond milk, ⅓ cup Sugar, and yeast. Allow yeast to sit for about 5 minutes to hydrate and activate.
- Mix in the egg, and half of your butter. Then add in your flour and salt and mix on low until everything is incorporated.
- On a lightly floured surface, pour your dough out on the table and knead it till it forms a ball.
- Place your dough back into the bowl and cover it and let the dough sit for about an hour or until double in size.
- In a small bowl mix the remaining sugar and your Garam Masala spice together.
- Once your dough has doubled, put your dough on the counter and press it out into a 12″ by 12″ square. Spread the rest of your soft “butter” on then sprinkle your sugar spice mixture evenly over the whole thing. Roll the dough into a log, then cut into 9 pieces. Place rolls into a 9″ by 9″ baking dish, cover and let rise for half an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the rolls for 40-45 minutes.
- Allow to cool and enjoy.
