Mini & Regular Waffle Cinnamon Rolls - Vegan MoFo 2013

I didn't invent these or anything, but WOW they were AWESOME. I used a tube of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough, store brand. Immaculate Baking Company is a brand that makes accidentally vegan cinnamon rolls as well.

For the regular size waffle rolls, I simply placed a roll into the waffle maker and closed the lid until reached desired doneness. For the mini-sized rolls, I broke the dough up into smaller bits before rolling them into their classic shape and placed into the waffle iron. The icing was from the container. Next time I will do the mini size for all the rolls.

Vegan Cinnamon Rolls!

Wow. I spent all day today making cinnamon rolls. I used a recipe from Vegan Yum Yum. Wow, it was a LOT of butter, almost too much, but that was the point. After studying a lot of different recipes on the internet, I decided that this one was a good place to start. It seemed the most like a butter-egg-dairy style recipe you might find from a bakery.

I learned a lot of lessons from this experiment that will help me with future baking, in particular with cinnamon or other rolls. I am excited to try to make a healthier version of these while still having similar taste.

In short, these were AMAZINGLY delicious. They are also AMAZINGLY high in calories, just like the ones made with animal products. They clock in at around 650 calories without any icing/frosting. Very indulgent.
