Matt Santos•Oct 27, 2023
These cinnamon rolls are the perfect Fall recipe for a sweet treat! I use plant-based milk, vegan chocolate chips, and soy butter because of my dairy allergy. However, feel free to use regular ingredients and customize these any way you’d like! Hope you enjoy and follow for more recipes!
