Start off with two cups of self rising flour.

Add 1/4 cup of coconut oil (or substitute with almond milk or mashed ripened banana for oil-free).

Add 3/4 cup of plant based milk and mix until it forms a ball.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s a quarter inch thick.

Cover the surface evenly with brown sugar (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup).

Lightly sprinkle the surface with cinnamon and cardamom (about 1.5 tbsp each).

Tightly roll up the dough and pinch the edges to secure it.

Cut your rolls about 1.5 to 2 inches thick using string or floss.

Place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Bake in the oven at 425°F for 8 to 10 minutes.

For frosting, take 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and add drops of water until desired consistency is reached.

Drizzle the frosting over the rolls and enjoy.
