On the weekend, I witnessed a crime…
I saw someone throw out the centre of a cinnamon roll. THE CENTRE, a.k.a. the best part of the cinnamon roll…a.k.a. the reason why you even buy a cinnamon roll!
So to make up for that horror story, here is the recipe for these delicious VEGAN PEANUT BUTTER & CHOCOLATE CINNAMON ROLLS that my friend Monica and I made!
Here is the recipe:

- 2. Stir in 1/2 cup of flour at a time until a thick dough forms. Transfer onto a lightly floured board & knead for one minute.
- 3. Grease your bowl with butter/oil and place the dough back in there. Cover the bowl with a towel & allow the dough to rest for 1 hour
- 4. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, fan-forced. Grease your baking tin/s with butter.
- 5. After an hour, turn the dough onto a lightly floured board, roll out the dough into a thin rectangle (~ 1cm thickness)
- 6. Mix the PB powder + milk until smooth, then spread this over the top of the dough. Drizzle over the melted chocolate & sprinkle the cinnamon +\- brown sugar
- 7. Tightly roll up the dough into a cigar, then cut into 8 even portions. Arrange these evenly in your prepared tin/s
- 8. Bake in the oven for 20-22 mins until golden
- 9. In the meantime, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce until smooth. Once the rolls come out the oven, drizzle the sauce over the top. Serve warm!
