Preparation Method Steps:

1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the warm almond milk, melted vegan butter, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 3 hours, or overnight if desired.
4. Make the Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, brown sugar, and rolled oats.
5. Roll Out the Dough: Punch down the risen dough and divide it in half. Roll out each half into a 12x18 inch (30x45 cm) rectangle.
6. Spread the Filling: Sprinkle the cinnamon filling evenly over both rectangles of dough.
7. Roll Up the Cinnamon Rolls: Starting from the long side, roll up each rectangle tightly. Cut each roll into 12 slices.
8. Second Rise: Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish and cover them with plastic wrap. Let them rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
9. Preheat Oven and Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and baked through.
10. Make the Glaze: While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the glaze by whisking together 1 cup (120g) of powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of almond milk.
11. Glaze the Rolls: Once the cinnamon rolls are baked, spread the glaze over them and enjoy!

User Comments:

• "These cinnamon rolls were absolutely delicious! The dough was soft and fluffy, and the cinnamon filling was perfectly balanced."
• "I love that these cinnamon rolls are vegan, but they don't compromise on taste. They're just as good as the traditional version."
• "I made these for my family over the holidays, and they were a huge hit. Everyone loved them, both vegan and non-vegan alike."

Special Precautions and Tips:

• To ensure the yeast activates properly, make sure the almond milk is not too hot or too cold. It should be warm to the touch, but not scalding.
• If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more almond milk.
• Don't overmix the dough, as this can result in tough cinnamon rolls.
• Let the cinnamon rolls rise for the full hour before baking to ensure they are light and fluffy.
• If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a smaller dish and bake the cinnamon rolls in two batches.
