These vegan funfetti sweet rolls are the perfect dish for a fun birthday breakfast! Fluffy, buttery, and covered with icing and sprinkles!
Begin by making the dough. Mix the maple syrup, melted butter, salt, and warm milk. Then, sprinkle the yeast over top and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. Then, stir in flour and mix until a dough forms. Cover the dough with plastic wrap in the bowl and allow it to rise for 1 hour.
Once dough has risen (if using gluten free flour it may rise less), lay it onto a floured surface and roll it into a 1/2 inch rectangle. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky or falls apart while rolling. Spread the softened vegan butter, sugar, and sprinkles onto the dough. Roll it into a log and cut into 8-10 pinwheels.
Place pinwheels in a baking dish and cover with a towel. Allow it to sit and rise for another 30 minutes. Keep in mind gluten free flour will rise less. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Remove the towel and bake in the oven for about 30-35 minutes. The rolls will be golden and fluffy.
While the rolls are baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix the icing ingredients. Spread the icing over the rolls once they're one baking and have cooled for 5-10 minutes.

Posted on: September 10, 2020Did you test this recipe with any specific gluten free flours? If my gluten free blend doesn’t include xanthan gum how much should I add?

Posted on: September 10, 2020Hi Noey, thanks for your question! I’ve tested this with King Arthur Gluten Free All Purpose Flour and Cup4Cup! Can’t speak for any other flours. I hope this helps!!
