How to Make Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls
-
Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm dairy-free milk and half of the light brown sugar. Sprinkle in the active dry yeast, stir gently, and let it sit for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly.
-
Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, the remaining brown sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
-
Knead the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes soft, smooth, and no longer sticky. Don’t rush this step; your patience will pay off!
-
Let it Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a damp tea towel. Allow it to rise in a warm spot for about 1 ½ hours or until doubled in size.
-
Roll Out the Dough: Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle measuring 12” by 7”. Aim for an even thickness for a great bake!
-
Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine melted Biscoff cookie butter, softened vegan butter, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, then spread it evenly over the dough, leaving a ½” border around the edges. Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top.
-
Shape the Rolls: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Cut the log into 1 ½” thick rolls and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover them with a damp cloth and let them rise for 20-30 minutes until puffy.
-
Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-23 minutes, until they are golden brown and make your kitchen smell irresistible.
-
Make the Icing: In a small bowl, beat together vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, melted Biscoff cookie butter, and a splash of dairy-free milk. Mix until smooth, adjusting the consistency with more milk if needed.
-
Frost and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before spreading the icing generously on top. For that extra touch, drizzle melted cookie butter and sprinkle with more crushed Biscoff cookies.
Optional: Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant finish!

Storage Tips for Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls
Room Temperature: Keep the rolls covered at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their delightful softness and freshness.
Fridge: For longer storage, wrap the rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat individually to restore warmth.
Freezer: To freeze, place the cooled Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be stored for up to 3 months and thawed before reheating.
Reheating: Warm the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through, or microwave them for 20-30 seconds for a quick treat!
Tips for the Best Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls
Mind the Yeast: Always use warm milk to activate the yeast, ensuring it’s not too hot or cold—ideally between 100°F-110°F for perfect rising.
Knead with Care: Don’t skimp on the kneading! Properly kneaded dough will yield soft, fluffy Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls that rise beautifully.
Watch the Timing: Don’t rush the rise time! Allowing the dough to rise until doubled in size ensures a light and airy texture that melts in your mouth.
Spread Evenly: When adding your filling, spread it smoothly and evenly for consistent flavor in every delicious bite.
Cool Before Frosting: Let the rolls cool slightly before frosting them; this prevents the icing from melting away and keeps each bite indulgent.
Experiment with Variations: Feel free to customize the filling with nuts or additional spices to tailor your Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls to your taste!

Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls Recipe FAQs
What is the best way to choose ripe ingredients for my Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls?
Absolutely! For the best flavor, use dairy-free milk that is fresh and not past its expiration date. Additionally, choose light brown sugar that is soft and moist, which enhances the sweetness in your rolls. When selecting Biscoff cookies, look for ones that are intact and not broken; this ensures the best texture when crushed.
How should I store leftover Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls?
To keep your rolls fresh, store them covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to preserve their softness longer, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just remember to reheat them individually to restore their delightful warmth before enjoying!
Can I freeze Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls?
Absolutely! To freeze, allow your cooled Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, ensuring they’re sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn. They can be stored for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
What should I do if my dough doesn’t rise properly?
If your dough hasn’t risen as expected, it’s often because the yeast didn’t activate properly. Ensure that your dairy-free milk is warm, not hot, ideally between 100°F-110°F. Another common issue is the yeast being expired, so always check the date. Sometimes, letting the dough rise in a warmer area or for a longer time might help—it should double in size within 1 ½ hours.
Are Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls suitable for special diets, like those with allergies?
Very! These rolls are vegan, making them a perfect option for those avoiding animal products. Ensure that all your ingredients—such as dairy-free milk and vegan butter—are free from allergens like nuts or soy if needed. Just be cautious with Biscoff cookies, as some varieties may contain gluten and specific allergens; double-check ingredient labels to ensure they’re safe for everyone enjoying your delightful creation!
