Vegan Honey Bun Recipe??

[Guest guest]

Good morning everyone! Hope your day is going well.

 

My wife is having a craving for honey buns (she's 9 months pregnant..., but we

haven't been able to find a vegan recipe for them. Does anybody have one? She

sure would be grateful!

 

Thanks!

There's a recipe for hot cross buns in the Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Comfort

Foods by Bette Hagman.It's not vegan but shouldn't be too hard to alter. I

imagine that you could you agave and a vegan butter to make a " honey " sauce

to make them honey buns.

It calls for the featherlight flour mix, which is at the front of the book.

I'll give that to you first.

 

*Featherlight flour mix* For 9 cups For 12 Cups

 

Rice Flour (1 part) 3 cups 4

cups

 

Tapioca flour (1 part) 3 cups 4 cups

 

Cornstarch (1 part) 3 cups 4 cups

 

Potato flour (1 tsp per cup) 3 TBLS 4 TBLS

 

 

*Hot Cross Buns* (as written)

 

*Dry Ingredients:*

1 1/2 cups Featherlight mix

1/2 cup teff flour

2 scant tsp xanthan gum

1/2 tsp salt

2 TBLS egg replacer

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

3 TBLS almond meal or buttermilk powder

 

*Wet Ingredients:*

3/4 cup (scant) warm water

1 tsp sugar

1 TBLS dry yeast

2 eggs

2 TBLS honey

3/4 TBLS dough enhancer

3 TBLS margarine or butter, melted

1/2 cup raisins, dried cranberries, or citron (or a combination)

 

 

Grease an 8 " or 9 " square cake pan. Dust with rice flour.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

In the warm water, dissolve the sugar and add the yeast, stir, and let

sit until the top foams about 1/2 inch (proofing).

In the bowl of your mixer, place the eggs, honey, dough enhancer, and

melted margarine. Blend well. Add most of the yeast water. Blend. With the

mixer on low, spoon in the dry ingredients. The dough should be just thick

enough to fall from the mixer in a smooth waterfall. If more water is

needed, add only 1 TBLS of the remaining yeast water at a time until desired

texture is reached. Add the raisins.

Drop the dough in rounded spoonfuls in rows of three across and three

down in the prepared pan. Cover and let rise about 25 minutes. Bake at 380*

for approximately 22 minutes. If desired, for a finishing touch, combine 1/4

cup powdered sugar with enough milk to make an icing that can be piped in

the form of a cross on each bun when cooled. Makes 9 buns.

 

I have not tried to play with this recipe yet. If you come up with

successful alterations, please post them as I'm sure some here would love to

make these for the up coming holidays. I typed this word for word exactly as

it is in the book except I abbreviated teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (TBLS).

I hope your able to adapt it and make it work for you!

 

Good Luck!
