Brought to you by Alpro
Ingredients
- 300 ml Alpro Almond Unsweetened Drink
- 500 g spelt flour
- 1 sachet yeast (7g)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 7 tbsp apple sauce
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- a pinch of salt
For the filling
- 150 g apple sauce
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 75 g chopped nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, pecans...)
For the topping
- Alpro Plain Unsweetened plant-based alternative to yoghurt
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/Gas Mark 7.
2
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
3
Heat the Alpro Almond Unsweetened Drink slowly in a pan, then dissolve the yeast in it and let it rest for 5 minutes. Add the Alpro Almond Unsweetened Drink, apple sauce, sugar, baking powder and salt to the flour, then stir slowly with a wooden spoon until it becomes a sticky dough. Sprinkle some flour on a work surface and knead the mixture into a ball. Cover and leave to rise in a floured bowl for 20-30 minutes.
4
For the filling, chop the nuts finely and mix with the apple sauce, cinnamon and maple syrup. Sprinkle the work surface with flour again then, with a rolling pin, roll the dough to about 5mm (1⁄4in) thick.
5
Brush the dough with the filling. Roll up and cut into segments of 3cm (11⁄4in). Put these rolls in a greased baking dish; ideally where they fit perfectly against each other and the edge of the dish, as they may unroll if not. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
6
Meanwhile, make the topping. Mix the Alpro Plain Unsweetened with the icing sugar, then drizzle over the baked cinnamon rolls. Yum!
