I Have Sinned
In the beginning (or last night) , Mama created cinnamon rolls. And they were good.
Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
(Makes 6 rolls)
Dough:
- 1 cup almond milk, warm
- 1 packet yeast
- 1/4 c. canned pumpkin
- 2 c. whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 c. organic unbleached all purpose flour
- 1 T. baking powder
- 1/4 c. organic sugar or sugar substitute (I used Nu Naturals Stevia Baking Blend)
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 t. salt
Cinnful Filling:
- 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 1 T. cinnamon
- 2 T. Earth Balance (or other dairy free margarine), softened
- 2 T. raisins (if desired)
Icing:
- 1 c. powdered sugar
- 3 T. almond milk
- splash of vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Dissolve yeast in warm almond milk. Set aside. Combine whole wheat flour, spices, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, combine filling ingredients and set aside.
After yeast and almond milk is foamy (about 5-8 minutes or so), stir in pumpkin. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until a dough forms. Turn dough out onto floured bread board and knead for a minute or so (about 20 times). Knead in as much extra flour (~1/4 c.) as necessary so that dough is no longer sticky. Roll dough into a large rectangle.
Sprinkle filling over dough and roll dough up firmly to make a log. Cut the log into six equal pieces and place in a loaf pan sprayed with cooking spray.
Either cover rolls and place in the refrigerator overnight, or if planning to bake immediately, let dough rise in a warm place for at least 40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 23 minutes. Drizzle with icing. Eat. Moan.
The Mama saw this “sin”ing and spake these words: (yes, I said “spake.” Know it. Use it. Love it.)
Thou shalt not replicate the Playboy mansion (minus the stench of silicon, peroxide and “old man“) by playing sports indoors in undersized swimwear.
Thou shalt not “pull a Brandi Chastain” after scoring a goal on a four year old.
Thou shalt not use thy iPhone in church, whether using the Bible app, playing Paper Toss or checking to make sure your favorite bloggers were awarded recognition they deserved.
Thou shalt not waste leftovers.
- broccoli
- Pumpkin Spice Roasted Chickpeas
- chopped almonds
Thou shalt not go more than two hours without a costume change…into a swimsuit, of course.
Thou shalt not look too hard for Chris Brown’s career…
..or Nicolas’ Cage’s credit score.
Thou shalt not covet thy sister’s snack.
Thou shalt not be afraid to take the night off from cooking.
Thou shalt not be ashamed of thy Hugh Jass.
Thou shalt not give two eye-sized stickers to your 2 year old, who happens to have two eyes.
Though shalt not head to the kitchen at 11 pm for the last leftover cinnamon roll and tell your husband you fed it to your kids.
Forgive me, for I have sinned.
OMG those cinnamon rolls look divine. I am gluten free and have to be. Cannot cheat. Sigh. But….my little wheels are already turning how I am going to GF 2.5c worth of wheat flour. I think I can work it though with a blend of oat & almond, maybe rice flour. We shall see what I can do with these. Because OMG the icing itself and just the cinnamon innerds part, I could just roll with that actually and skip the dough if all else fails.
This post was so worth staying up past my bedtime for. Thank you
p.s. I think I am extremely sensitive to the taste of stevia b/c although I am okay with it in certain things, in other things like an a real cinnamon roll, I would just go all out and use real sugar. You are more disciplined than I am
Definitely bookmarked the cinnamon rolls recipe! Excited to try!
Those cinnamon rolls look soooooo amazing! Yum.
The cinnamon rolls look amazing! Yum! I love how the girls live in swimsuits all day. I want to do that!
Ohhhh my gosh. I LOVE cinnamon rolls. I haven’t had one in such a long time. Must. make. some. asap.
Is it weird to be excited for my dinner tonight? I’m making your Pumpkin Spice Roasted Chickpeas
Your pumpkin cinnamon rolls look glorious! Thanks for sharing the recipe
.
Oh wow lady, these look sensational!!! Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls…I don’t think there is anything bettter on this God given earth!
I made some of your Pumpkin Chic Peas yesterday and had to contain myself from eating the entire batch! Wow, these are delicious, thank you thank you!!!! Next time, I will be doubling the recipe because sadly, mine are almost all gone alreday!
ENjoy your day darling.
SINnamon rolls – yum
Averie took the words out of my mouth–D.I.V.I.N.E.!! And could they be–gasp–healthy too! Amazing! Lol. Our bishop totally busts out his iphone in church to use the “scripture” app. Yeah right
I love Sundays. xoxo
Oh my word. Seriously. Vegan or not…these CANNOT be good for my bootie…or are they? LOL
Oh GIRL, I just copied that recipe down. My husband made icky Pillsbury cinnamon rolls (for himself) yesterday and they smelled soooo good. Glad to see I now have an alternative for myself
hahaha..i made cinnamon rolls like that i think with a very similar recipe months ago when i was in fl for brad…too bad i never tried one!
and love all the sins; i think i might have sinned more than you yesterday. sin sisters, all the way!
Holy moly, those cinnamon rolls look amazing. I want to leave work, go home, and bake them right now!!
You’re a baking genius! Those look incredible.
Is it a sin that I’m listening to Gaga’s “Paparazzi” while reading this? I feel as though you wouldn’t approve.
Holy goodness and divinity–those cinnamon rolls look delicious! Eating those in the morning and night is not a sin. I think it’s perfect.
The girls must really be missing summer. Either that or they’re gearing up for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. This I understand.
Have a gorgeous start to the week, Mama Muff!
I will be doing plenty of moaning in the very near future as I WILL be making these lush looking cinna rolls!!!
are there no lulul tantrum pictures i see? have the teeth finally appeared?
ahahahaha! I love.
I am bookmarking the recipe just like everyone else. Vegan cinnamon buns shall be mine!
Okay so I just saw your post where you talked about your hair! It made me laugh. You remind me of my hairdresser. She always straightens her hair. Always! I get worried doing it too much because I am scared my hair will get too damaged. Cute posts as always, and those rolls look AMAZING!
YUM! The cinnamon rolls look great. Thanks for the recipe.
Cute post before also. I love seeing pics that take you back in time. Awesome dress in the first one. hehe

I’m really sorry our ST meetup didn’t work out. Your party pictures there look like too much fun! Have a great week Mama Pea!
My husband would be so excited by your husbands San Diego Chargers shirt. (At least I think it’s a Chargers shirt.)
I need to make those cinnamon rolls. I am drooling at the keyboard.
And finally, hooray for all things Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes.
awww look at Chris with his own huge Jass!! you have taught him so well!!
i love your brown sweater!!! and you are so hot in sweats…….gosh, make us frumpy, scrubby people feel badly!
hugs
Exactly how many bathing suits do Lulu and Gigi own?
Oh my Mama Pea, those cinnamon rolls look amazing!!! I am so making those for my family for Thanksgiving. CD is allergic to cinnamon, but the Mac’s (my fam) would love them!
Is that a Sweet Tomatoes Dinner? So jealous…Nashville will surely get one someday.
I love this! If I had an iPhone I’d totally use it in church too…but that would be bad because I’m the pastor.
Those cinnamon rolls look amazingly delish! Must.try.soon.
I covet those cinnamon rolls!!!! WOW yummy
Oh no, I may ( or may not) have been playing paper toss and a game called words with friends and sheep launch during church yesterday.
Forgive me for I have sinned
woops!
I’m always massively impressed by anyone who takes on cinnamon rolls, but to make them sound that damn delicious and healthy is going another step!
so good to see Lulu smiling!
Just caught up.
I absolutely love your blog and look forward to each post. And even on the bad days you make me reallllly want babies NOW.
Thank you MamaPea for sinning. I shall be making these evil-yet-ohsoawesome sounding cinnamon rolls very soon. I noticed in your first picture that you have the Deceptively Delicious cookbook. I just bought this at (of all places) TJ Maxx but have yet to make anything from it. Any suggestions??
Hi Erika! The only recipe I make out of that cookbook with any regularity are the Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies. I’m not crazy about them, but the rest of the family is. I take a way more direct approach to getting fruits and veggies in my kids. Sorry I couldn’t be more help!
And hopefully you have not been smote for coveting thy neighbor’s sinnamon roll.
Have I ever told you how disappointed I am when your posts end? It’s like I’m scrolling down reading…reading…reading more and then I get to the end and it’s like, “Aww man..” I just want the fun to never end.
How awesome that you’ve created a healthy, vegan recipe for cinnamon rolls. I think you take the cake for this one. Oddly enough I’m not a fan of cinnamon rolls, but I would love to try this recipe out on Chris and see what he says. Without telling him they’re vegan, healthy, etc…though if I made them he’d surely know anyway.
I think Gigi and Lulu are ready for Hawaii!!
Must try cinnamon rolls! I think the girls want to go on vacay tomorrow. And since you are SO overworked and I am a Child and Family Development major, I totally need to go with you so that you and your husband can have some alone time you know good for the marriage
Oh the good Catholic in me loves this post. Don’t worry mom and dad the thousands of dollars you spend on Catholic schooling did not go to waste
I am quite hungry finishing out my workday and now I want to eat my computer. Those cinnabuns looks amazing!!
It’s alright I blame missing food on our dog Diasy…she’s always the culprit!
I’m sure you’re cinnamon rolls are amazing! But I couldn’t get past the hilarious photos and comments!!! So glad I found your blog, haven’t laughed so loud alone in my office in some time. Really!
I have a 2 year old boy and niece who is 3 and seeing your girls just cracked me right up! Especially the stickers! My son puts them on his cheek, he thinks that’s where they ‘go’!
Please keep bloggingI I need Mama Pea in my life!
Holy fake bologna I want to take a bite of that cinnamon roll right. now.
Those cinnamon rolls look simply ridiculous!
I’m with the girls on the constant bikini action. Can’t go hiding in frumpy winter clothes now can we?!
Jeez, I haven’t made cinnamon rolls in AGES..
Now I simply have to! Maybe for near Christmas Sunday morning treat?
THANKS for the food cravings! and eye stickers are hysterical!
Lulu seems to be doing better with her teeth, no? …my tot is cuttin’ 3 of 4 now! OH the insantiy!
xo
next time make a batch you can just send some my way…that way you dont have to lie to the hubby about where they disappeared to. just sayin’
Those cinnamon rolls look to die for. & the wonderful thing is that it looks like everything you put in the recipe can be located in my house right now (or at least has a similar item that I could use)
I may just need to sin as well and make some very soon.
i just had someone who shall remain nameless offer to be my slave for the week if i make her said cinnamon rolls… SOLD
haha
OMG – those look so good. Since I’m leaving town I may have to treat the hubbie when I get back …. WITH SINNAMON ROLLS, of course.
Yummmm, cinnamon rolls…those look awesome, can’t wait to try!!!
One of those and coffee and I’ll be in business…
I’m always charmed by the way your home has more costume changes than a Broadway show!
Glorious! I think I will make these for Christmas morning–an excellent replacement for the Pillsbury ones from a tube.
I am kinda jealous of your beet curly fries on that Hugh Jass.
dear lord!!!
If I didn’t think Mama LVP would have me killed for not making our traditional (artery-clogging) rolls on Thanksgiving, those babies would be it. I’ll just make a batch for myself instead.
Oh my!!! Those look so, so fabulous. I wish I hadn’t spent all day baking already….. 4 different types of baked goods in one day is ok, right?
I’m so glad I came across this recipe – yum! Can’t wait to make it
I just made these cinnamon rolls, and they are FANTASTIC! Your vegan culinary genius is much appreciated. Thanks for an awesome recipe!
I just bought the spooky smores Z bar the other day and i wait to try it! i hope it is
Just made these this morning! DE-lish! I love your recipes!! I replaced the pumpkin with applesauce, because some consumers do not like pumpkin (blasphemy, I know!) and they seem to have turned out just fine.
Hi Mamma Pea,
At what point do I add the sugar to the dough? The recipe doesn’t say….
Thanks,
Julie
You can add it when you add the flour. I’m going to make this a Recipea Worth Repeating soon…you are just beating me to it!
Thank you!
Oh man. Providence (by way of google) led me to your site and I believe that these rolls are exactly what I need right this second. (As for the rest of your recipes – I think I see a Peas and Thank You book in my near future!) But I have a problem. I’m in the UK and I don’t think we have such a thing as pastry flour over here. Do you think plain (all purpose) wholewheat flour would ruin the recipe altogether? Or is there a different substitute I should try?
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the site love! That is an old recipe that I’ve been meaning to make again…you just inspired me.
If you can’t find whole wheat pastry flour, you can use a 50/50 blend of regular whole wheat flour and all purpose flour. Just don’t use all whole wheat or your rolls will be heavy and dense. Good luck!
