Vegan cinnamon rolls are a sweet, fluffy pastry made without any animal products. The dough is typically made with plant-based ingredients such as non-dairy milk, vegan butter or coconut oil, and flaxseed meal instead of eggs. The filling usually consists of cinnamon, sugar, and vegan butter, and can also be made with ingredients such as chopped nuts or raisins.

Once the dough is rolled out and the filling is added, the rolls are cut and baked until golden brown. They are often served warm and topped with a sweet glaze made with powdered sugar and non-dairy milk. Vegan cinnamon rolls are a popular breakfast or dessert option for those following a plant-based diet or looking for a healthier version of the classic pastry.
