Fluffy and soft Vegan berry cinnamon rolls, filled with a wonderful summer berry chia jam and topped with a berry glaze. Like a summery cinnamon roll but without the cinnamon.
Start by heating the almond milk to luke warm, it should not burn your finger. Pour the milk, melted vegan butter and sugar to a mixing bowl. Add the dry yeast, mix and let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
Mix in the flour a little at the time with the salt and vanilla until you have a slightly sticky dough. Cover with a towl and let rest until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour. While the dough rises, make the chia jam.
Put the frozen berries in a pan and heat gently for a few minutes while stirring. When the berries are soft and liquid forms, add the maple syrup and chia seeds.
If you have large berries like whole strawberries, mash them with a fork.
Simmer the jam on low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool in the pan. The jam will thicken while it cools.
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and place on a well floured surface. Knead the dough lightly then roll it out with a rolling pin to a large rectangle thats about 1 cm (½ inch) thick.
Top with the Forest Fruit Chia Jam and spread to an even layer, you might not need it all. Roll the dough, forming a tight logg. Cut in 12 pieces and place in a rectangular baking pan (9x13 inches) lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towl and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180C (350F)
Brush the rolls with a little almond milk and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until golden brown and the middle is cooked. Let the rolls cool down under a kitchen towel and prepare the glaze.
Stir the sugar and berry juice, or water, together to desired consistency. If it's too dry, add a little more juice or water. If too runny, add a little more sugar.
Top the berry rolls with the glaze and serve right away or store in an airtight container for later.
Enjoy!
