| I love cinnamon buns. There is something bewitching about sugar and cinnamon gooeyness that I can't deny! One weekend I dared to wonder if I could make vegan cinnamon buns that were whole-wheat and fat-free. Turns out I can. Dare to dream, my friends, dare to dream.

tsp active yeast
3 c whole-wheat pastry flour
1 tbsp baking powder

2 tsp ground cinnamon, divided

tsp fine salt
5 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
4 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp raisins (optional)
 
1 c confectioners' sugar
1 tsp non-dairy milk
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or spray a round 8-inch cake pan and set aside.
Gently warm non-dairy milk to approximately 110°F. Sprinkle yeast in and let it dissolve, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk 2 cups of flour in a mixing bowl with baking powder, sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and salt.
Stir in applesauce and non-dairy milk mixture, using a spatula to combine, then stir in

cup of flour.
Stir in remaining flour and knead in the mixing bowl 15 to 20 times until elastic and not excessively sticky.
Flour a rolling pin and roll dough out into a large, thin rectangle.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, raisins, if using, and remaining cinnamon. Spoon and spread this mix around the center of the dough, leaving 1-inch edge clear.
Gently but tightly roll the dough up. Using a string, pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut roll into six equal pieces.
Place buns in the prepared pan; a tight fit is okay.
Bake for 25 minutes, until slightly golden and thoroughly cooked.
While baking, prepare icing by mixing confectioners' sugar with non-dairy milk until a thin glaze forms.
Drizzle icing over the buns while they're still warm.
