Bake the rolls for around 25 minutes at 355 degreesF, or until they are slightly browned on top.

How to Prepare Fruit Mince Cinnamon Rolls [Vegan]

To Make the Fruit Mince:

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Let sit for at least a couple of hours, or a couple of days in the refrigerator to let all the flavors infuse together.

To Make the Dough:

Preheat oven to 355°F.
Add the coconut oil to the warm non-dairy milk and then the yeast and let sit for 10 minutes.
Add the salt and sugar and 3 cups of flour gradually, kneading into a dough. Place in a bowl that you have greased with coconut oil. Let sit for an hour or two until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, knead a few more times, sprinkle a bench with flour and roll the dough out into a rectangular shape
Spread the fruit mince on top of the dough evenly. Starting from a long edge, roll the dough into a cylindrical shape.
Then, cut into rounds a couple of inches long.
Place the rounds vertically in an oven proof dish. Brush with coconut oil.
Bake for around 25 minutes or until slightly browned.
Let cool for a good while. Drizzle with icing and serve.
