Vegan Coconut Milk Rolls are a delightful treat, offering a soft, fluffy texture with a hint of tropical flavor. These rolls are made with rich coconut milk, giving them a subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with your favorite jam or spread. They’re a great addition to any meal, or simply enjoyed on their own as a snack.
I love baking these rolls on a Sunday morning, filling the house with their warm, comforting aroma. There’s something so satisfying about pulling them out of the oven, golden and fragrant. My family enjoys them fresh with a bit of vegan butter, and they’ve become a weekend staple in our home.

Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast

- Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
