Kristen! xoxoxo! I'm so happy there is someone to back me up here...Ty is obviously crazy.
Dave, here is how you make healthy and delicious cinnamon rolls(no tofu needed):
3 cups ww flour
1 tsp salt
1/3 c. light olive oil
1/3 c. honey
1/2 c. warm water
1 pkg dry active yeast
Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a seperate bowl, mix the honey, warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then mix the wet and dry ingredients, including the oil. If you need to add more water, do so...then knead your dough thoroughly, cover it and let it rise until it has doubled. Roll the dough out into some semblance of a rectangle. Then spread this alllll over the dough:
a mixture of (1-2 tsp) cinnamon, (1/2 tsp) ground cloves, (2/3 c.) agave nectar and some nuts ( a small, finely chopped handful...I like walnuts). Roll the dough up and cut into 1-inch thick rolls. Place in a greased baking pan and bake at 375F until golden brown...maybe 15-20 minutes?
Let your rolls cool completely. You can make a simple glaze that is gooey and not at all healthy tasting by doing this:
1/4 C raw almonds(sliced are fine)
1 C water(or unsweetened soy/rice milk, which works really well)
2 T lemon juice
2 T corn starch
1/2 tsp nutritional yeast
pinch of salt
1/3 C agave nectar
1.5 tsp vanilla extract
Start by blending the almonds with the water until smooth. Add the lemon juice, corn starch, and nutritional yeast and blend the ingredients again until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for approximately a minute(it will look like a pudding…). Remove from heat. Whisk in the agave nectar and the vanilla extract. Pour into a bowl and cool in the refridgerator for approximately 3 hours. Before using, whisk the mixture to break it up and add some air to it. Then use like a normal frosting.
AND YES! We also make really yummy, really great for you vegan pizza...and I'll post the recipe for that one later.
Love,
Evan
