Vegan Oatmeal Rolls! Soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweet! Can be made a day ahead and are ideal for mini sandwiches the next day!
Ingredients
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup quick oats or rolled (if using rolled, see notes below)
  • 3 tablespoons olive or coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons yeast
  • ½ cup lukewarm water
  • 4-5 cups all purpose flour
Instructions
  1. Add 2 cups water, 1 cup quick oats, and 3 tablespoons olive or coconut oil to a medium sized sauce pan. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 min.
  2. While the oat mixture is coming to a boil, combine ⅓ cup brown sugar and 1 ½ teaspoons salt to a medium sized mixing bowl.
  3. Add the oat mixture to the mixing bowl with brown sugar and salt. Cool to lukewarm.
  4. While mixture is cooling, combine 2 teaspoons yeast and ½ cup lukewarm water in a small bowl. Let proof for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Once the oat mixture has cooled, add yeast/water mixture and stir together.
  6. Next, add 2 cups of flour and stir to combine. Add 2 more cups and stir until fully incorporated. Transfer dough to a clean work surface that has been dusted with flour. Knead the remaining ½-1 cup flour until dough is smooth. Dough will be slightly sticky at this point.
  7. Grease bowl that the dough was in and place kneaded dough into the bowl. Let rise in a warm draft free place until doubled in size (~45-1hr).
  8. Once doubled, punch down and start forming rolls by pinching off about a handful of dough. Grease hands with olive or coconut oil and form the rolls in your hand by folding the dough into itself until smooth and round.
  9. Place rolls in greased 12 inch baking pan. Let rise a second time until doubled in size (~30 min)
  10. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake for 15 mins or until golden brown on the tops and bottoms.
  11. Remove from oven and immediately brush/drizzle tops with olive or coconut oil.
  12. Let cool completely in pan.
  13. Enjoy!
Notes
*If you don’t have quick oats, rolled oats will work. Instead of boiling for 1 minute, boil for 3-5 minutes to ensure the oats are soft.
*Leftovers will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container, room temp.
