Instructions
-
Mix the lukewarm milk, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Ensure that the mixture is only lukewarm (37-43°C); if it is warmer, allow it to cool briefly.
-
Sprinkle the GF dry yeast evenly over the milk mixture, stir, and place the bowl in a warm spot for 10 minutes.
-
Add 500 g of your GF flour, stir to combine, and place the bowl covered with a tea towel in a warm place for 60 minutes, or until the dough doubles in size.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing the brown sugar, warm butter, pumpkin puree, and spices.
-
Remove the tea towel and add the rest of the GF flour, pumpkin puree, GF baking powder, and salt to the dough. Combine thoroughly and transfer the dough onto a clean work surface.
-
Knead the dough and gradually adding a little GF flour until the dough no longer sticks (about 50-200 g depends on how thick your pumpkin puree was).
-
Roll the dough out into a rectangle (about 1cm thick), spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the surface, and carefully roll it up.
-
Cut the cinnamon buns into evenly sized slices (about 4-5cm thick) using a sharp knife or dental floss. Grease two 25cm round pans or select the size that suits you best and place the slices in them.
-
Cover the buns with a tea towel and leave them to rise for 30-40 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the buns for 25-30 minutes until they turn golden brown.
-
While the cinnamon buns are baking, make the frosting by blending vegan cream cheese, melted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
-
Drizzle the frosting over the cinnamon buns 5-10 minutes after they come out of the oven.
-
Serve warm and enjoy.
