This is the easiest, most delicious vegan cinnamon roll recipe you will ever try! To spice things up, I added some chocolate chunks to the filling for an extra-indulgent, yet extremely healthy breakfast or dessert!

- 2 cups Whole wheat flour or oat flour for a gluten-free version

Instructions
For the dough:
- Combine the warm milk, yeast, and a teaspoon of sugar. Wait until it's frothy, then add the rest of the sugar, the melted vegan butter, and the salt.
- Gradually add the whole wheat flour (or oat flour), and knead the dough for a couple of minutes, until it is soft and smooth.

- Roll out the dough until it forms a rectangle at least ½ inch thick.
For the filling:
- Mix the coconut sugar with the cinnamon.
- Spread a layer of vegan butter over the dough, then top with cinnamon sugar and dark chocolate pieces.
- Roll the dough , and then cut it into 8-10 rolls about 2 inches in diameter
- Place the chocolate cinnamon rolls on the lined baking sheet and cook them for at least 20-25 minutes at 356°F.
- Top the vegan cinnamon rolls with the dairy-free frosting, and enjoy!
