How to Make Vegan Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Step 1: Mix and Prepare the Dough
Start by combining your dry ingredients—self-raising flour, instant yeast, and cinnamon—in a large bowl. These form the flavorful base of your dough. Then gently melt vegan butter with soy milk and sugar in a saucepan until warm and inviting, but not hot. Slowly add this to your dry mix, stirring until a thick, sticky dough forms. This is the exciting start to your fluffy rolls coming alive.
Step 2: Knead and Prove the Dough
Turn the sticky dough onto a floured surface and knead for about five minutes until it becomes soft and elastic, springing back when pressed gently. Feel free to use a mixer with a dough hook if you want an easier route. Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a cloth, and leave it to prove for one hour, preferably somewhere warm like an oven with the light on. Watching it double in size is pure satisfaction.
Step 3: Roll Out and Fill
When your dough has doubled, give it a gentle knead and roll it out into a neat rectangle about a quarter-inch thick. Mix the Biscoff spread, vegan butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the filling, then spread this sticky, fragrant mixture evenly over your dough. This is where all the delicious magic starts to take shape.
Step 4: Roll Up and Slice
Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a sausage shape, trimming off the loose ends to keep things tidy. Mark and slice into 12 equal pieces—you can use dental floss to make clean cuts for perfectly shaped rolls. These buttery spirals will delight in both looks and taste.
Step 5: Pre-Bake Glaze and Bake
Arrange the rolls snugly in a lined baking tin, then brush the tops and sides with a glaze made from melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Bake at 180°C/350°F (or 160°C/325°F for fan ovens) for around 20 minutes until golden and aromatic. Peek by gently pulling a center roll apart; just right rolls are done, but a few more minutes in the oven could perfect it.
Step 6: Prepare and Spread the Biscoff Icing
Once your rolls are cool, blend vegan cream cheese, Biscoff spread, and icing sugar until smooth, then add soy milk for a luscious consistency. Slather this frosting generously over the rolls and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff biscuit crumbs. Now they’re irresistibly ready to tear apart and enjoy!
How to Serve Vegan Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Garnishes
To take your Vegan Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls Recipe to the next level, sprinkle crushed Biscoff biscuits on top for an extra crunch that perfectly complements the creamy icing. A light dusting of cinnamon or a drizzle of melted vegan caramel sauce also add beautiful finishes, making each roll look like a bakery masterpiece.
Side Dishes
Serve these cinnamon rolls alongside a steaming cup of vegan chai latte or spiced coffee for an indulgent breakfast experience. For a more substantial brunch, pair with fresh fruit salad or a smoothie bowl loaded with berries and nuts to balance sweetness with freshness and texture.
Creative Ways to Present
Try serving these rolls in a rustic wooden board lined with parchment or place individual buns into cute paper muffin liners for a charming presentation at brunch gatherings. You can also stack them on a cake stand to highlight their swirl beauty, inviting guests to pick their own delightfully gooey piece.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Leftover Vegan Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls store beautifully in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Keep them in a cool spot to preserve moisture and softness. If you plan to eat them over a couple of days, this is the best way to ensure they stay fresh without losing flavor.
Freezing
You can freeze these rolls, either baked or unbaked. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil or place them in a freezer-safe container. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to indulge, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat for a freshly baked experience.
Reheating
To warm your rolls, pop them in a preheated oven at 160°C/325°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave individually for 30 seconds if you’re in a rush. This softens them perfectly, reviving the melty butter and Biscoff goodness, making them taste like they just came out of the oven.
FAQs
Can I use a different plant-based milk instead of soy milk?
Absolutely! Almond, oat, or cashew milk work wonderfully as substitutes. Just make sure it’s unsweetened to keep the flavors balanced.
Is it necessary to use self-raising flour in this recipe?
Self-raising flour is recommended because of the baking powder it contains, which helps the dough rise nicely alongside the yeast. If you only have plain flour, add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder to mimic this effect.
Can I make these cinnamon rolls nut-free?
Yes, this recipe is naturally nut-free as long as you double-check your Biscoff spread and vegan butter for any cross-contamination if allergies are a concern.
How do I know when the rolls are fully baked?
The rolls should be golden brown on top and easily pull apart in the center without doughy resistance. Using a fork to tease the center roll helps check if the dough is cooked through.
Can these rolls be made gluten-free?
Making this recipe gluten-free requires specific gluten-free self-raising flour blends that behave like regular flour. The texture might vary slightly, but it’s worth experimenting if you have dietary restrictions.
Final Thoughts
These Vegan Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls Recipe are nothing short of pure comfort and joy wrapped up in a gooey, spiced swirl. Whether you’re treating yourself or impressing friends at brunch, these rolls bring a cozy, decadent vibe to any table.

Ingredients
Dough
- 380 g Self-raising flour
- 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 60 g Vegan butter or margarine
- 250 ml Unsweetened soy milk
- 2 tablespoons Caster sugar
Filling
- 30 g Smooth Biscoff spread
- 60 g Vegan butter or margarine
- 80 g Soft light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Pre-bake glaze
- 1 tablespoon Melted vegan butter or margarine
- 1 tablespoon Caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Icing
- 60 g Vegan cream cheese
- 60 g Smooth Biscoff spread
- 60 g Icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened soy milk
Topping
- 1–2 Biscoff biscuits, crushed into crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, instant yeast, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Warm wet ingredients: Gently melt the vegan butter with the soy milk and caster sugar in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm.
- Make the dough: Gradually mix the lukewarm liquid into the dry ingredients until a very thick and sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until soft and elastic. The dough should spring back when pressed. A stand mixer with a dough hook can be used as an alternative.
- First proof: Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a dishcloth, and leave in a warm place (such as an oven with the light on) for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Prepare for rolling: After doubling, lightly knead the dough for a few seconds to release excess air.
- Roll dough out: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F), or 160°C (325°F) if fan or convection.
- Make filling: In a bowl, mix Biscoff spread, vegan butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Spread filling: Evenly spread the filling mixture over the rolled-out dough.
- Roll and cut: Starting with the long side facing you, roll the dough into a tight sausage shape. Trim the loose ends, then cut into 12 equal pieces. Mark cuts with a knife and slice cleanly with dental floss for neat rolls.
- Arrange rolls: Place the 12 rolls into an 8 x 10 inch baking tin lined with baking paper.
- Make pre-bake glaze: Combine melted vegan butter, caster sugar, and cinnamon. Use a pastry brush to coat the tops and sides of the rolls.
- Bake: Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Check doneness by gently pulling apart the center roll with a fork; if raw dough remains, bake a few minutes longer.
- Cool rolls: Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool completely in the tin before icing.
- Make icing: Blend vegan cream cheese, Biscoff spread, and icing sugar until smooth. Add soy milk and mix well to create a spreadable frosting.
- Ice and top: Spread the Biscoff icing evenly over the cooled rolls and sprinkle crushed Biscoff biscuit crumbs on top.
- Serve: Tear or cut the rolls apart and enjoy the delicious vegan treat.
Notes
- Using dental floss to cut the rolls results in cleaner edges without squishing the dough. Simply mark with a knife then cut with unflavored floss.
- If your dough is too sticky while kneading, sprinkle just a little more flour to manage but avoid adding too much to keep rolls soft.
- Make sure the butter and soy milk mixture is lukewarm before adding to yeast mixture; too hot will kill the yeast.
- For best results, serve the cinnamon rolls on the day they are made, as they are freshest and softest.
- These rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and warmed gently before serving.
