Ingredients
200g self raising flour
35g caster sugar
¼ tsp salt
80g cold vegan butter
100ml oat milk
Cinnamon filling
2 tbsp vegan butter
90g brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Extra cinnamon sugar, for sprinkling
Cream cheese icing
4 tbsp vegan cream cheese
65g icing sugar
¼ tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp oat milk
Instructions
- Combine the self raising flour, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Then dice the butter and add to the bowl. Use your fingers to smash the butter into the flour mixture until it looks like breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the milk and combine into a soft clump then roll out into a rectangle (approx 45cm x 30cm).
- Next, melt the butter for the cinnamon filling, and combine this with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread over the dough bringing it right to the edges, then sprinkle over the cinnamon sugar as evenly as you can.
- Starting at the long end of the rectangle, roll into a tight log shape, and then cut into 8 equal size pieces. Place these into a greased loaf tin.
- Bake in your air fryer at 160°C for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the icing ingredients in a bowl, and stir until smooth.
- When the rolls are baked, remove from the air fryer and drizzle the icing over the top.
