Warm up the almond milk and water together until lukewarm. I highly recommend using a kitchen thermometer to make sure it gets to 100 degrees F or 38 degrees C. The milk not getting to the right temp can really mess with the dough! Whisk the yeast with the lukewarm almond milk and let sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the milk should be frothy. 

While the yeast is activating, make the date filling.

 In a medium sauce pan, bring the dates, apple juice, water, cinnamon and vanilla to a low boil on medium heat. Cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the date mixture becomes the consistency of jam. Remove from the stove and set to the side to let cool. Once cool, add the dates to a food processor, and pulse into a smooth paste. Set to the side.

After 10 minutes once the milk is frothy, add the ground flax seeds, vegan butter and apple cider vinegar to the milk and yeast mixture . Whisk together and set aside to thicken.

 In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix to combine. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough until it's easy to handle and somewhat smooth. 

Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle until it's about 1/4 inch thick.

Every spread the cinnamon date filling on top of the rolling out dough. Make sure to cover the whole surface besides the edges (about an inch) of the dough. 

Using the parchment paper to guide you, tightly roll up the dough. Trim the edges and then slice the roll into eight pieces.

Lightly grease a large muffin tin or two (enough for 8) of choice and place the rolls inside, cut-side up. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 hour in a warm, spot in your kitchen. They will rise but not exactly double in size.

With an eclectic mixture, great the coconut cream and vanilla together until smooth. Pour over the cinnamon rolls and enjoy!!
