Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make these chocolate cinnamon rolls ahead of time?
You can prepare the dough, including the mixing with oat milk, flour, and margarine, up to the point of the final rise. Cover the shaped rolls and refrigerate them overnight. On baking day, let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking for the best texture.
Can I substitute the oat milk in this chocolate cinnamon roll recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the 250 ml of oat milk with another plant-based milk like soy or almond milk, or even regular dairy milk if you are not following a vegan recipe. Ensure the milk is warmed slightly to activate the 7g of fast-acting yeast effectively.
What's the best way to store leftover chocolate cinnamon rolls to keep them fresh?
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze cooled, unfrosted rolls for up to 3 months; reheat gently in the oven or microwave to refresh the texture.
