Vegan Blueberry "Cinnamon" Rolls

Here is a link to the recipe I followed: MakeItDairyFree

Let just start off by saying, if you plan to make this for breakfast, WAKE UP REALLY EARLY. This took me HOURS to make. I was up by 8-9AM and we didn't get to eat these till almost noon. The part that takes the longest is allowing the dough to rise, twice. I was very hangry by the end of this, and really hated taking the time to style these photos before I could eat. Hence, why the main photo has a fork in it. It was taken as a joke when I thought I was done taking pictures and could finally eat.

Also I messed up during the actual baking and covered the pan with foil because I read that they can brown or burn easily on top. Yeah, don't do that. Just throw the dish in the oven to bake without a cover. it will be fine. The temperature is low enough that it will cook and brown perfectly (if you follow the recipe).

I also changed how I made the glaze and icing. I accidentally didn't read all the directions and basically made the icing, then added it to the saucepan to cook. oops. To fix this, I just simmered the glaze/frosting in the pan like the recipe called for, and then later added even more powdered sugar to a separate bowl with some of the "glaze" to make the icing. It worked out for me because I knew how to fix it (luckily). 

Besides those few hiccups I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out like this! I'm not the biggest fan of the actual dough recipe, as I think it needed more time to rise to be fluffier. Generally with vegan baking a lot of dough ends up becoming very dense, oily, or rubbery. This one was a little dense. I'll keep testing out recipes and let you know how it goes. If I'm going to make this full transition to veganism I need to master some good baking recipes to prove that I dont need eggs to bake something delicious.
