Vegan Maple Oat Rolls are a delightful treat that combines the hearty goodness of oats with the natural sweetness of maple syrup. These rolls are not just delicious but also packed with wholesome ingredients, making them a great addition to any meal. The subtle maple flavor pairs wonderfully with the soft, tender texture of the oats.
I love baking these rolls on a lazy Sunday morning. The warm, inviting scent of maple fills the house, and it’s the perfect way to start the day. They’re a hit with my family, especially when served fresh out of the oven with a bit of vegan butter or jam. These rolls make breakfast feel extra special and cozy.
Recipe Details
- Cuisine: American
- Servings: 12 rolls
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cooking Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes (including rise time)
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk (such as almond or soy)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 cup additional oats for topping
Equipment/Utensils
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixing spoon or spatula
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Clean kitchen towel
Preparation Steps
- Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, maple syrup, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
- Prepare the Dough: Add the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, salt, and cinnamon (if using) to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour and oats, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until 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 roll and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the Rolls: Brush the tops of the rolls with a bit of plant-based milk and sprinkle with the additional oats. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite spread or as a side to your meal.
