Author: National Honey Board
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
4 tablespoons dairy-free buttery spread, softened and divided
½ cup honey, divided
½ cup chopped, toasted nuts (optional)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 pound dairy-free bread dough (if frosen, thawed according to package directions)*
⅔ cup raisins
Instructions
Grease 12 muffin cups with 1 tablespoon dairy-free buttery spread.
To prepare the honey nut topping, mix together 1 tablespoon dairy-free buttery spread, ¼ cup honey, and the chopped nuts, if using. Place 1 teaspoon of the topping in each muffin cup.
To prepare the buns, mix together remaining the remaining 2 tablespoons buttery spread, remaining ¼ cup honey, and the cinnamon.
Roll out the bread dough onto a floured surface into an 18x8-inch rectangle.
Spread the filling evenly over the dough and sprinkle evenly with raisins.
Starting with the long side, roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 slices, 1½ inches each. Place the slices, cut-side up, into the prepared muffin cups.
Set the muffin pan in a warm, draft-free place and let the dough rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375ºF.
Place the muffin pan on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting the muffin pan to remove the buns.
Notes
Bread Dough Options: If buying pre-made bread dough, read the label as some brands do contain dairy. In a pinch, you can use pizza dough. Or, enjoy this homemade dairy-free bread dough recipe. It makes a bunch, so you may want to half the batch.
