Instructions

Activate The Yeast

  1. Start by heating the cup of almond milk over the stove. Before the milk starts to boil, take it off the heat.

  2. Add the warm almond milk to a bowl & add the coconut sugar & active dry yeast. Give it a good stir with a wooden or silicone spoon & let rest for 11 minutes. After the 11 minutes is up the mixture should be frothy.

Prep The Dough

  1. Now you are ready to add the flour, melted butter, & salt.

  2. Use clean hands to combine all ingredients until you form a dough ball. Knead for about 11 minutes or until the dough is velvety in texture.

  3. Cover the dough with a damp kitchen cloth, & let rest in a warm area for at least an hour. After an hour the dough should have doubled in size.

Prepare The Casserole Dish

  1. Coat the casserole dish with a combination of melted vegan butter & honey.

Roll Out, Fill, & Roll Up The Dough

  1. To a clean, smooth surface, add a handful of flour and spread it out evenly.

  2. Carefully remove the dough ball from the bowl & place it directly onto your prepared workspace.

  3. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a rectangle shape about a quarter inch thin.

  4. To a small bowl add the melted butter, orange zest, & almond extract. Stir it up & add it right on top of your dough. Spread it out using your clean fingers.

  5. Next sprinkle on the coconut sugar, sliced almonds, & ground cinnamon. And drizzle on the honey.

  6. Roll up the dough to form a log. Use floss or a serrated knife to cut into buns.

  7. Place the buns in the casserole dish & let rest for at least an hour. After an hour the buns should have doubled in size & are ready to bake.

Preheat The Oven

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.

Bake

  1. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 22 minutes.

Prepare The Glaze

  1. To a blender add the honey, cashew butter, orange juice, & almond extract. Blend it up.

Garnish.. & Enjoy!

  1. I love finishing these Almond Honey Orange Cinnamon Buns with more sliced almonds, a gorgeous drizzle of the glaze, & a sprinkle of orange colored edible flower petals. And enjoy!
