These Eggless Easy Carrot Cake Cinnamon Rolls consist of an aromatic dough studded with grated carrots and a decadently spiced cinnamon, pecan, raisin filling. Topped off with a tangy plant-based icing, these are a delicious breakfast treat!


Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot approx 1 medium carrot
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 3 tbsp vegan butter or coconut oil melted
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp almond milk

For the filling:

For the icing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 2 tsp almond milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F ( Approx 190 degrees celsius)
  • Add all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom to a bowl and mix well so ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Peel a carrot and using a kitchen grater (not Microplane one), grate the carrot so it yields 1/2 cup. Then add that 1/2 cup of grated carrot to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Melt the vegan butter by placing it in a microwave-safe dish and microwaving it for 20-30 seconds or until it is melted but not very hot.
  • Then add melted vegan butter to the dry ingredients along with the vanilla and almond extracts, and almond milk.
  • Mix well with a wooden spoon until liquid is absorbed as much as possible.
  • Then turn dough onto a floured board, scraping the bowl almost clean, and kneed until it is easily pliable.
  • Then, using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it is a rough 11 x 15 rectangle (does not need to measure exactly)
  • Make the filling by placing the brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, pecans, and raisins in the bowl the dough was made in.
  • Melt the vegan butter and pour it into the bowl and mix well.
  • Then, spoon filling onto dough and spread it out so it is evenly distributed.
  • Gently roll dough with filling.
  • Using a very sharp knife (or thread) cut the large rolled-up carrot cake roll into 9 parts.
  • Place cinnamon rolls on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 35 minutes or until edges are crispy.
  • Remove rolls from the oven and let them sit on the counter for about 5 minutes.
  • Make the icing by combining the powdered sugar, vinegar, and almond milk into a thick paste and drizzle onto the rolls.
  • All that's left at this point is to dig in!
