INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Mix together warm water with yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes, to allow yeast to proof.
  2. Sift together flour, cornstarch, psyllium husk powder and salt. Set aside.
  3. In large bowl of electric mixer with paddle attachment, mix together warm coconut milk, pumpkin puree, oil, sugar and apple cider vinegar. Add water/yeast mixture. Mix on low until combined.
  4. While mixer is on low, slowly add flour mixture. Once flour is incorporated, scrape down sides of the bowl. Continue to beat dough on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
  5. To make filling, mix together sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in small bowl. Set aside.
  6. Cover counter space with large piece of plastic wrap. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Place dough in middle of plastic wrap. Roll out dough to 10x13 inch rectangle.
  7. Brush on oil, covering to edges. Sprinkle on cinnamon/sugar mixture. Start by rolling up longer edge of dough, using plastic wrap to help. Gently roll up dough until you reach other edge. Help seal edge with a little warm water on fingertip.
  8. With large knife, cut dough into about 1 1/2 inch sections (you'll end up with 8 rolls). Place rolls seam-side down into greased 9-inch round baking dish. Slightly press down. Cover lightly with towel or plastic wrap.
  9. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place cinnamon rolls next to or on top of warming oven. Let rise for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
  10. Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes on cooling rack.
  11. To make vanilla icing, mix together powdered sugar, coconut milk, and vanilla. Add additional tablespoon of coconut milk if needed. Stir until smooth and creamy. Drizzle icing over cinnamon rolls.
  12. Best served warm and same day. To reheat rolls, simply place in microwave for 15-20 seconds.
