Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder, whisking together to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough seems too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Roll the dough into a rectangular shape, approximately 12x8 inches, using a rolling pin.
- Evenly distribute fresh blueberries across the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the dough from the long side, creating a tight log with the blueberries inside.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal pieces, each about 1 inch thick.
- Place the rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan, leaving a small space between each roll.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while the rolls rest for 10 minutes.
- Bake the rolls for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the center is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Optional: drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and almond milk.
Tips
- Perfectly Measure Your Ingredients: For the best results, be sure to measure your flour accurately. Spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife to avoid dense rolls.
- Don’t Overmix the Dough: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough rolls.
- Let the Dough Rest: Allowing the dough to rest for about 10 minutes before baking helps the gluten relax, resulting in softer rolls.
- Add Extra Flavor: For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of lemon juice to the dough for a delightful twist.
- Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to customize your rolls with other fruits like raspberries or blackberries, or sprinkle some chopped nuts for added texture.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your rolls while they bake. They should be golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Serve Warm: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. If you have leftovers, reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds before serving to restore their softness.
