🛒 Ingredients for the Cinnamon Buns

Dough:

  • 2 ¾ cups organic all-purpose flour 🌾
  • 3 tablespoons organic cane sugar or coconut sugar 🍯
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast 🌱
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt 🧂
  • ½ cup warm almond milk (or regular milk) 🥛
  • ¼ cup unsalted organic butter, melted 🧈
  • 1 large pasture-raised egg 🥚

Filling:

  • ⅔ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar 🍬
  • 1 ½ tablespoons organic Ceylon cinnamon (find it at Greengold Guide) 🍂
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈

🧁 Natural Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 oz organic cream cheese, softened 🌿
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 🧈
  • ½ cup organic powdered sugar (or powdered coconut sugar) 🍬
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 🌼
  • 1–2 tablespoons almond milk (as needed) 🥛

🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it’s foamy. 🌸

Add the remaining sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm spot. 🌞

2. Roll and Fill

Once doubled in size, roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.

Spread the softened butter all over the dough. Mix coconut sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle generously on top. 🍂✨

Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 pieces.

3. Bake

Place buns into a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) 🔥 and bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. 🍥

4. Make the Natural Cream Cheese Frosting

While buns bake, beat cream cheese and butter together until fluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla.
Whisk in a little almond milk to reach your desired frosting consistency. 🎨

5. Frost and Enjoy!

Spread the natural cream cheese frosting over the warm cinnamon buns. Watch it melt into pure bliss! 💫
