Kanelbullar, sticky buns, cinnamon buns, and cinnamon rolls; isn’t it all the same? Not quite! It is similar, and it is suspected that the original cinnamon bun comes from Scandinavia.
But in this vegan cinnamon rolls recipe we share an American version: nice and sweet, with icing. We make it a quick recipe, because we use crescent dough (you can also use a roll of fresh puff pastry).
How To Make Vegan Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnamon rolls are so tasty, but if you’re going to make your own dough, chances are you’ll end up with dry cinnamon rolls. That is why we use crescent dough in this recipe. Then you are guaranteed to have delicious cinnamon rolls!
As mentioned earlier, cinnamon rolls are originally from Scandinavia. Of course, Americans wanted to sweeten this recipe and toss icing on top. And yes, it tastes quite good!
You can adjust the recipe to your own taste – we understand that sweet can be too sweet.

It is super easy: you roll out the crescent dough, press perforations to seal, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
Then roll the dough up again in the same way, cut the roll into 6 slices and bake them at 200 °C/ 390 °F for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the icing by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the icing over the vegan cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
