Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls

 

Ingredients

• 2 sweet potatoes medium, cooked, peeled and mashed
• 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda

For the filling

• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• 3 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

• Heat the oven to 400F. Pierce the skin of your sweet potatoes with a fork. Bake the sweet potatoes for about an hour, until the inside is soft and squishy. Allow the potatoes to cool down, then peel off the skin. 
• In a bowl, mixed the mashed sweet potato with the maple syrup until combined. In a separate bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder and baking soda. Add in the flour to the sweet potato mixture half a cup at a time, and mix well until a dough is formed. You can use your hands to knead the dough into a firm ball, ensuring the sweet potato and flour are incorporated. Once the dough is formed into a firm ball, cover with a tea towel and allow that to rest for half an hour, and up to an hour. 
• Once the dough is formed into a firm ball, cover with a tea towel and allow that to rest for half an hour, and up to an hour. 
• On a floured working surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle, approximately 10 by 15 inches. Brush the dough with a little bit of oil, then sprinkle on the cinnamon and brown sugar. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into 1 inch wide strips. Roll into cinnamon rolls. 
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F. 
• Place the rolls into a greased baking dish or cast iron pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Once done, serve warm with sweet cashew cream or vegan icing as desired.
