Description

Fluffy sweet dinner rolls with maple butter. Perfect for holidays, family gatherings, or make a batch to freeze so you can have warm rolls all week long!

Ingredients

1 cup nondairy milk like oat, soy or almond
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 “egg” of powdered egg replacer like Bob’s Red Mill (see note)
4 tbsp vegan butter, room temp or softened
3 1/4 cups all purpose flour (measure carefully and don’t pack it down or they will be dense instead of light and fluffy!)
2 1/4 tsp instant yeast (make sure its instant)
1/4 tsp salt

Maple Butter:

6 tbsp vegan butter, room temperature or softened
2 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

Prepare your “egg” and let sit 5 mins.
In a small pot on the stove, combine the nondairy milk and maple syrup. Heat, stirring to combine, until warm but not hot.
In a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour, instant yeast and salt and whisk to combine. Add the warmed milk mixture, the softened vegan butter and the “egg” and mix until it forms a soft dough ball, about 3-4 minutes. If using a stand mixer, make sure you use the dough hook.
Cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm draft-free area for 1 hour to rise.
In the meantime, make the maple butter: to a small mixing bowl, add the softened vegan butter and maple syrup and stir until combined. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Turn out the dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface. With a rolling pin, roll dough into a long rectangle about 24 inches by 12 inches, and about 1/4 inch thick. Doesn’t have to be perfect.
Spread a thin layer of maple butter over the dough. Cut the dough into 12 strips (see video for how I do it evenly). Roll each strip from top to bottom.
Place in a parchment-lined square (approx 8×8 inch) baking pan. Brush the tops with a thin layer of the maple butter.
Bake in preheated oven for 24-26 minutes. If you want them to be more golden on top, broil for 2 minutes at the end.
Let cool slightly before serving with extra maple butter. Enjoy!

Notes

Powdered egg replacer normally has the instructions for 1 egg on the package. Typically it is 1 tsp to 1 tbsp powder, plus water. Then you let it sit for 5 mins. You could also try a flax egg by mixing 1 tbsp ground flax with 3 tbsp water but I have not tried this myself!
