Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

Serves 8

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 6 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1⁄2 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 320°F. Cut parchment paper to fit the air fryer basket.
  2. Unroll puff pastry into a large rectangle. Brush with coconut oil, then evenly sprinkle sugar and cinnamon around the dough, coating as evenly as possible.
  3. Starting at one of the long sides, roll dough into a log, then use a little water on your fingers to seal the edge.
  4. Slice dough into eight rounds. Place on parchment in the air fryer basket, working in batches as necessary, and cook 12 minutes until golden brown and flaky. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk confectioners’ sugar and coconut cream together until smooth. Drizzle over cinnamon rolls and serve.
