Dough:
3 1/2 - 4 cups white flour (or use your favorite flour)
1 Tbsp baking powder
3 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 stick vegan butter, melted (8 tablespoons)
1 cup soy or almond milk
1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon or orange or tangerine juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
plenty of flour for kneading/surface
Filling:
1 cup brown sugar
3 Tbsp vegan butter, melted
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
1 1/2 cups raw walnuts, minced in a food processor/Vitamix
Topping:
2-3 Tbsp crushed walnuts
2-3 Tbsp vegan butter, melted
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp maple syrup drizzled
Orange Cream Frosting
8 ounce vegan cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup orange juice (fresh)
1/2 tsp orange zest
1 dash cayenne
1 Tbsp vegan butter, softened
Blend with hand mixer. Chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 2. Combine dry ingredients from dough. Add in wet liquid and work into a ball. Knead until a dough ball forms. Add a splash more soy milk or a few dashes more flour to even the consistency out if needed. Dough should be soft - not tough - yet thick enough to roll out into a one inch thick piece. 3. On a floured surface, roll out dough to a loose rectangle shape. About 3/4" - 1" thick. 4. Brush or drizzle the melted butter over top dough. 5. Over top the vegan butter layer, sprinkle the cinnamon - generously. Add nutmeg. 6. Evenly distribute walnuts and brown sugar over top that 7. Carefully roll your dough up from one end until a tight spiral inside a long tube is reached. 8. Slice your rolls. About 1 1/2" thick. 9. Tightly place the rounds in a vegan butter greased dish - I used a 9" round baking dish. 10. Add the topping layer over top the rolls. 11. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Cool a few minutes and serve warm with orange cream frosting over top
