Vegan Sourdough Cinnamon Buns
Vegan Sourdough Cinnamon Buns
This recipe was made because we love sourdough cinnamon buns but since going vegan needed a new recipe. I veganized our old favourite recipe and they turned out delicious. I hope you like them just as much as we do.
Equipment
- Hand/Stand Up Mixer
- Dough Hook & Whisk Attachments
- Oven
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup Sourdough Starter
- ¾ cups Warm Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 Flaxseed Egg (1 Tablespoon Ground Flaxseeds and 3 Tablespoons of Water)
- 4 Tablespoons Vegan Butter (Softened)
- ¼ cup Sugar
- 3 ¼ cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
Cinnamon Filling
- ¾ cups Brown Sugar
- ¼ cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoons Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil (Melted)
Icing
- 1 ½ cups Icing Sugar
- 1 ½ Tablespoons Vegan Butter (Melted)
- 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Almond Milk
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Dough Instructions
- Mix together flaxseed and water to form the flaxseed egg and set aside so it has time to come together.
- Mix together all the dough ingredients except the salt with the dough hook in your stand up mixer.
- Add the salt on top of the dough (without mixing it in), then cover and let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
- Now mix in the salt until fully incorporated, about 4-5 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for 4 hours. Every hour within the 4 go back and stretch and fold the dough over 3-4 times to create good elasticity.
- In-between the stretches and resting make your cinnamon filling. Recipe is just below.
- After 4 hours lay the dough out on a lightly floured work surface. Rolling it into a 14” x 20” rectangle.
- Spread the filling evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving ½” of exposed dough along one short edge. Then roll the dough into a log starting with the short end.
- Cut the log into 12 buns. Then let rise covered for an other hour before popping them in the fridge overnight.
- In the morning take the buns out of the fridge. Let the buns rest on the counter while you preheat the oven to 400°F.
- When the oven is preheated bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the buns are baking make the icing. Recipe down below.
- Let the buns cool for about 10 minutes before topping with the icing and serving.
- Enjoy!!

Sourdough starter is such a great way to make so many amazing baked goods. Down below I linked the recipe we used to start ours out. It’s a great set by step video on how to get started and what to expect. Along with a written guide on measurements and portions.
