Vegan Chunky Monkey Cinnamon Rolls

It’s been a while since I made cinnamon rolls and I really want them. However, I wanted to make a different version, and the first thing that came to my mind is peanut butter.

And I also thought of the Chunky Monkey Granola that I’ve made earlier, so here are the Chunky Monkey Cinnamon Rolls.

The other reason that makes me I want to make cinnamon rolls is that I got my first KitchenAid stand mixer this week! I’m so excited about it!

[Note: I want to be completely honest with all of you so here is something I want to clarify. I got sponsored by KitchenAid Taiwan for the video post (in Chinese) but not for the English post. The English post is all written only because I want to share the recipe for these baked goods in English as well. I could have omitted this part but it feels a bit weird to me if I didn’t mention this. And I love writing recipes in English more than in Chinese, even though I’m a Taiwanese, seriously. (Chinese tying is a bit annoying.) Anyway, I hope you know what I mean. Let’s go back to the recipe.]

I’ve shared a healthy-ish 100% Wholewheat Cinnamon Rolls before. These Chunky Monkey Cinnamon Rolls are also kinda healthy but that’s not the main point here.

The point is we got peanut butter inside out in these cinnamon rolls.

And to justify their name, I add banana and walnuts for the Chunky Monkey vibe. Oh, and this recipe is adapted from Minimalist Baker’s banana bread cinnamon rolls.

INGREDIENTS FOR CHUNKY MONKEY CINNAMON ROLLS

  • Soy Milk: I use my homemade soy milk, which is thicker than store-bought ones. You can also use other plant milk.
  • Water: I think most of us can get it easily. Just want to mention that you can replace water with plant milk as well if the milk you’re using is thin.
  • Creamy Peanut Butter: The hero of these cinnamon rolls. It’s better to use pourable creamy peanut butter in this recipe. If it’s right out of the fridge, microwave for 20 seconds to warm it up a bit.
  • Grapeseed Oil: Grapeseed oil is pretty neutral in flavor and it can stand high heat. I use it in baked goods from time to time. You can also use melted vegan butter as well.
  • Instant Yeast: It’s convenient to get. You can find it in most supermarkets.
  • Cane Sugar: Cane sugar got the mildly sweet flavor that fits in this cinnamon rolls recipe very well. I also use brown sugar in the filling part to elevate the flavor.
  • Salt: You don’t need a lot of it, but you do need it in our dough.
  • Bananas: The existence of cheap bananas in Taiwan is really one of the reasons that I love Taiwan. Bananas are sweet and they can add moisture in our baked goods. It’s better to use ripe bananas because they can be easily mashed. But just a heads-up, the riper the bananas, the stronger the banana-y flavor will be in your final product.
  • All-purpose flour: We need finer flour for the fluffy and soft texture. But if you like me want to have some whole wheat flavor and nutrition in there as well, you can replace about 1/4-1/3 portion with whole wheat pastry flour or whole wheat spelt flour. The pastry flour will give these rolls more body.
  • Walnuts: They are more texture and nutty flavor to these cinnamon rolls.

The banana and peanut butter join the party in two ways.

Bananas:
1) mashed bananas in the dough.
2) sliced bananas in the rolls.

Peanut Butter:
1) peanut butter blend into the dough.
2) spread-out peanut butter in the filling

I make desserts more often than making bread or dough because the dough is more time-consuming. Kneading dough by hands also takes skills.

So, for a person who doesn’t really have much time and patience kneading the dough, a stand mixer is really a savior. (And I love the velvet blue color so much!)

However, the dough still needs to rise two times, so this recipe still takes some time. But you don’t need to do anything while the dough is proofing.

You can sleep during that time if you want. (But make sure to set up an alarm because you don’t want your dough to overproof.)

It’s kind of therapeutic to play with the dough and see it double in size, like magic.

Adding mashed bananas really makes the dough got soft without the need to add tons of oil.

And what makes me surprised is that the dough doesn’t taste very banana-y. I mean, I can’t even taste it. Instead, there’s only a mild peanut-butter fragrance in the dough that I adore so much.

However, the banana slices do get a bit soggy in the filling. So you’re not a fan of that, just omit them.

These Chunky Monkey Cinnamon Rolls are really soft and fluffy. With the peanut butter in the filling. They really remind me of the peanut butter buns I loved when I was a kid.

I hope you got the chance to give them a try and let me know how it went!

English Version

  • To make the dough: In a bowl, add the soy milk, water, peanut butter, and grapeseed oil. Warm it in a microwave or over the stove to about 38 C / 100 F. It should be warm not hot.
  • Transfer the mixture into the mixing bowl of a stand mixter. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 10 minutes. You should see bubbles on top after that.
  • Give the mixture a mix, then add the salt and sugar. Mix all together.
  • With the paddle attcachment on, use the stand mixter to mix all while graudally adding flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Beat until the dough is too sticky to conitnue.
  • Sprinkle some flour on a the working surface, transfer the dough out and knead the dough for about 1-2 minutes, use enough flour to prevent sticking but not too much. Shape the dough into a ball.
  • Grease the mixing bowl with some oil. Transfer the dough into the bowl, seal on the bottom. Cover with clean cloth and let it sit until it doubles in size, about 40-60 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour on the table again. Gently transfer the dough out. Use a rolling spin to roll out the dough into a long rectangle layer, about 1 cm (1/3 inch) thick.
  • To make the filling: In a bowl, add the peanut butter and grapeseed oil. Mix them together. Pour the mixutre onto the dough and use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
  • In another bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle it evenly on top of the peanut butter layer along with the walnuts and banana slices.
  • Start to roll from the longer side to wrap the filling inward to form a log. Then divide it into about 4 cm (1.5 inch) thick rolls. You will have 10 rolls for this recipe.
  • Grease a 10" pie pan with oil. Place the rolls into the pan. Cover with a clean cloth again to let it sit for about 20 minutes. The last 10 minutes is the time to start preheat your oven.
  • Brush some plant milk on each rolls. Place the rolls into the oven to bake for 30-35 minutes until they're golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven. Let it cool a little bit.
  • To make the frosting: In a bowl, add the Vegan Cashew Cream Cheese and peanut butter. Mix to combine.
  • Drizzle the frosting on top and sprinkle the crushed peanuts and banana chips if you want. Serve warm. You can also use the frosting in this Wholewheat Cinnamon rolls recipe as well.
