Gooey Vegan Agave "Honey" Buns

By -


These soft, sweet, and sticky buns use agave nectar to achieve the classic "honey" flavor, making them 100% vegan.

INGREDIENTS

A. Sweet Dough

  • 1 1/2 cups Non-Dairy Milk (warm, approx. 105°F)
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tsp Instant or Active Dry Yeast
  • 1/2 cup Vegan Butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 Tbsp Agave Nectar (or vegan honey substitute)
  • 4 to 4 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour (plus more for kneading)
  • 1 tsp Fine Sea Salt

B. Agave-Cinnamon Filling

  • 1/3 cup Vegan Butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp Agave Nectar

C. Gooey Glaze

  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar, sifted
  • 2 Tbsp Vegan Butter, melted
  • 4 Tbsp Agave Nectar
  • 2-4 Tbsp Non-Dairy Milk (to adjust consistency)

INSTRUCTIONS

PHASE 1: MAKE THE DOUGH

  1. Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, whisk together the warm non-dairy milk, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix Dough: Add the cooled melted vegan butter, agave, and salt. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead & Rise: Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until doubled.

PHASE 2: FILL, ROLL, AND SHAPE

  1. Prepare Filling: While the dough rises, combine the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and agave nectar for the filling. Mix until creamy.
  2. Roll Dough: Gently punch down the risen dough. Roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 12 inches by 18 inches.
  3. Spread and Roll: Evenly spread the filling over the entire dough surface. Tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side.
  4. Cut & Second Rise: Cut the log into 12 equal slices. Place the slices cut-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) during the last 10 minutes.

PHASE 3: BAKE AND GLAZE

  1. Bake: Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are light golden brown.
  2. Make Glaze: While the buns bake, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar, melted vegan butter, and agave nectar. Add non-dairy milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
  3. Glaze: As soon as the buns come out of the oven, generously pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to melt into the sticky filling. Serve warm. Enjoy!

Focus: Discerning Truth from Deception. Morning (Hearing Heart): Almighty YAH, the world is full of clever lies and deceptions. Give Your servant a heart that hears Your voice above the roar. Grant me discernment to choose life in every small decision.

Focus: Recognizing GOD as the Source of Light and Life. In the spirit of a fresh start and your commitment to the Book of Remembrance, we look to the foundational truth of the Tanakh: "YAH is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? YAH is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" — Psalm 27:1 Just as the sun rises to break the hold of the night, the instruction of the Almighty serves as the ultimate "New Beginning" for the soul. To recognize Him as the Source of Light is to acknowledge that no matter how deep the shadows of the past may be, His Truth provides the path forward. Morning (Hearing Heart):  Almighty YAH, as the light of the sun breaks over the horizon, I recognize You as the Source of all Life. I thank You for the breath that enters my lungs and the Spirit that awakens my (Hearing Heart). Today, let my life be a mirror of Your righteousness to all whom I encounter. May I seek the Light of Your Statutes above the 'neon' distractio...

The Living Temple | Farmacy Over Pharmacy | The 7-Day "Nature’s Pharmacy" Meal Plan

Building a lifestyle of wellness isn't about a one-time "cure"; it’s about a daily commitment to the body. As it says in Proverbs 3:8 , honoring the right path "will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones." If we want our bodies to sustain us, we must provide them with the raw materials of restoration. Here is how to seamlessly weave nature’s pharmacy into your daily routine - from sunrise to sunset. 1: The Morning "Fire" Goal: Kickstart your metabolism and douse systemic inflammation before the day’s stress begins. The Golden Tonic: Start your day with warm water, Ginger , and Turmeric . The Pro-Tip: You must add a pinch of black pepper and a healthy fat (like a teaspoon of coconut oil). Curcumin (in turmeric) is poorly absorbed on its own; the piperine in pepper increases its absorption by 2,000% . The Power Bowl: Top your oatmeal or yogurt with Omega-3 Rich Seeds (Flax, Chia, or Hemp). These seeds don't just fight pain; they ...
