Vegan Brioche Rolls are a soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet delight that can elevate any meal. These plant-based rolls have a rich, buttery flavor without any dairy or eggs, making them a perfect treat for those following a vegan lifestyle. They’re wonderfully versatile, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
I especially enjoy baking these rolls on the weekends when the whole family is around. There’s something so comforting about the smell of freshly baked brioche wafting through the house. We love to have them warm with a spread of vegan butter or as a base for a delicious sandwich.
Recipe Details

- Total Time: 3 hours 40 minutes (including rise time)
Ingredients
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup almond milk (warmed)
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup vegan butter, softened
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp turmeric (for color)

Equipment/Utensils
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Stand mixer with a dough hook (optional)
- Baking sheet

Preparation Steps
- Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm almond milk and yeast. Stir in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Mix the Dough: Add the flour, coconut milk, remaining maple syrup, vegan butter, salt, vanilla extract, and turmeric to the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.

- First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Shape the Rolls: After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls with the towel and let them rise for another 1 hour.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake: Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, with your favorite vegan spread or alongside a meal.
