4. Vegan Cinnamon Pecan Rolls

The author of this recipe notes that “she doesn’t accept the traditional wisdom that one shouldn’t bother veganizing a recipe that calls for more than two eggs.” And we are very thankful for that. This recipe achieves the ideal rise and texture of a classic cinnamon roll without adding any dairy nor eggs. Not to worry, you can still make the finger-licking worthy icing with just a dash of almond milk and a half cup of confectioner’s sugar.

Made with sweet potatoes for added moisture, these tender biscuits are perfect for pairing with a warm glob of vegan butter, your favorite fruity jam, or a heaping mound of vegan cheese.
