Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Pop open the crescent rolls and roll the dough into a ball, kneading it to work out the perforations.
  3. Using a rolling pin, roll it out into a rectangle.
  4. Spread 1 tablespoon of margarine over the dough. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon, and then sprinkle it onto the margarine.
  5. Roll the dough up into a long roll and use a sharp knife to cut it into 1-inch discs.
  6. Put the discs into a lightly oiled muffin tin (a baking sheet will do if you're short a muffin tin), and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
  7. While cooking, mix the margarine and 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar with a hand mixer (by hand is fine, too). Alternate milk, remaining sugar, and vanilla, beating until smooth. Add more plant-based milk or sugar to get the consistency you prefer.
  8. Frost the cinnamon rolls.

Notes

  • Use a very sharp knife to cut the rolls. If the knife is dull, the cinnamon roll dough will squish down and the filling will likely spill out. A serrated knife can be useful to cut the dough with very little pressure.
  • Bake until just golden brown. Over baked crescent rolls can become dry, hard, and crumbly in texture. Begin to check the cinnamon rolls around the 12-minute mark and monitor closely. Once the rolls become lightly golden, pull them from the oven. As they cool they will continue to cook! 
  • Cut into 9 rolls. The bake time for these cinnamon rolls is based on cutting the crescent rolls dough into 9 rolls. If you choose to cut them into more or less rolls, the bake time will need to be adjusted accordingly.
