If you’re craving that delightful mix of sweet, spicy cinnamon and soft, fluffy dough, this organic homemade cinnamon roll recipe is your next culinary adventure. Not only will your taste buds dance with joy, but your kitchen will also become the heart of your home!


Why Choose Organic Ingredients?


When it comes to baking, the quality of your ingredients directly impacts the flavor and texture of your cinnamon rolls. By choosing organic ingredients, you avoid harmful pesticides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and artificial preservatives.


For example, using organic flour can make your dough fluffier, while organic cinnamon has been shown to have a more robust and natural flavor profile than its non-organic counterpart. In a study by the American Spice Trade Association, organic cinnamon contains up to 45% more beneficial compounds than conventional cinnamon. Using organic sugars also contributes to a richer taste and ensures that every bite is pure goodness.


Embrace the benefits of nature in your cooking!


Gathering Your Ingredients


Before we dive into baking, it’s essential to gather all the materials you will need. Here’s your checklist:


  • For the dough:

- 4 cups organic all-purpose flour

- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) organic active dry yeast

- 1 cup warm almond milk (or dairy milk)

- 1/3 cup organic sugar

- 1/3 cup melted organic coconut oil

- 1 large organic egg

- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt


  • For the filling:

- 1 cup organic brown sugar

- 3 tablespoons organic ground cinnamon

- 1/2 cup organic unsalted butter, softened


  • For the frosting:

- 1 cup organic powdered sugar

- 2 tablespoons organic cream cheese

- 1 tablespoon organic milk

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Prepare your ingredients, and let’s start the fun!


Making the Dough


  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm almond milk with sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This step is crucial as it ensures that your dough will rise properly.


  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil and the egg. Once the yeast mixture is ready, add it to this bowl.


  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the organic flour and sea salt. Gradually add it to the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. This should take about 2-3 minutes.


  4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. You can tell it's ready when it springs back when poked gently.


  5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size. This is where the magic happens!


Preparing the Filling


While waiting for your dough to rise, prepare the filling that will elevate your rolls.


  1. Make the Filling Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the organic brown sugar and organic ground cinnamon until well combined.


  2. Butter Up: Once your dough rises, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread softened butter evenly across the surface of the dough.


  3. Sprinkle On the Good Stuff: Evenly distribute the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter, ensuring every corner is covered. This will guarantee that each bite is flavorful and sweet.


Rolling and Baking


  1. Roll It Up: Starting at one end, roll the dough tightly into a log. This ensures that the filling is nicely packed into each roll.


  2. Cutting the Rolls: Use a sharp knife to slice the log into even pieces, typically about 1 to 1.5 inches each. You should get around 12-15 rolls from this recipe.


  3. Second Rise: Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking pan, making sure each roll has a little space to grow. Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes until they puff up.


  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. The perfect indicator is a beautiful golden crust—they should be soft and fluffy inside.

Whipping Up the Frosting


While the rolls are baking, prepare a scrumptious frosting to drizzle on top.


  1. Blend Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together organic powdered sugar, organic cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. The cream cheese adds a delightful tang that balances the sweetness.


  2. Frost and Serve: Once the cinnamon rolls have cooled for about 10 minutes, generously drizzle the frosting over each roll. This final touch makes them irresistible!


Enjoying Your Creation


Now you have perfectly baked organic cinnamon rolls, golden and gooey, ready for indulgence. Pair them with a cup of warm coffee or tea for an even more delightful experience.
