Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

By: The Jaroudi Family

Makes around 8 large rolls

Ingredients:

Dough:

1 cup plant milk unsweetened and unflavored

1 & ¾ cups of pumpkin puree

3 large, pitted dates

1 package of active dry yeast

1 tsp white miso paste

2 & ¾ cup whole-wheat flour (or gluten-free flour)

Filling:

1 cup water

1 cup pitted dates

1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice (or apple pie spice)

1 & ¾ cups of pumpkin puree

Icing:

¾ cup silken tofu

½ cup raw cashews

6-8 large pitted dates

1 tsp lemon juice

½ cup water

Extra cinnamon for dusting

Directions:

In a high-speed blender mix plant milk, 1 & ¾ cups pumpkin puree, and 3 large, pitted dates. Blend until smooth. In a small saucepan heat the mixture on low-medium heat. The temperature should be 100-110 degrees (this is important not to kill the active dry yeast).

In a large bowl add in the active dry yeast and warmed plant milk mixture. Let rest for 5 minutes (you should see a bit of clumps).

Add in flour and white miso paste. Knead dough into a ball. Cover (with plastic wrap or towel) in a dark warm area for one hour. The dough should double in size.

Roll dough into a large rectangle.

In a high-speed blender add all filling ingredients and blend until smooth.

Spread filling over the dough, leaving a 1-inch board of dough. Roll the dough up and cut into 8 slices. Arrange in a parchment paper-lined baking pan (around a 2-quart casserole dish).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place baking pan into the oven while the oven heats up and bake for 30-35 minutes until done.

In a high-speed blender add all icing ingredients and blend until smooth. Keep icing in the refrigerator until pumpkin cinnamon rolls are ready.

Top with icing and an extra dusting of cinnamon.
