A quick google search for a vegan recipe came up zilch so I tackled the task of veganising a recipe I already had.
I have to say I was delighted with the results.They lasted 2 hours in this house so that is testament enough for me!
Vegan Chelsea Buns
Ingredients
225 grams strong bread flour
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 and a 1/2 teaspoons dried yeast
100ml tepid soya milk
50 grams of vegan margarine
A little vegetable oil
Filling
Melted margarine
50 grams vegan brown sugar
1 teaspoon mixed spice
75 grams sultanas
Method
Grease an 18cm square pan.
Put 50 grams of the flour in a large bowl and blend together with the yeast and tepid milk until smooth. Set aside in a warm place until the mixture froths - about 10-20 minutes.
Mix the remaining flour, salt and mixed spice; rub in the margarine.
Add the yeast mixture and mix to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it is smooth - about 5 minutes.
Place in a lightly oiled bowl and leave to rise for about an hour and a half.
Knead the dough thoroughly and roll out to an oblong roughly 30 cm's by 25 cm's.
In a small bowl mix together the sultanas, sugar and mixed spice.
Brush the dough liberally with the melted margarine and sprinkle over the fruit and sugar mix.
Roll up from the longest side and seal the edge with a little water.
Cut into 9 equally sized slices and place these, cut side down in the prepared cake tin.
Leave for another 30 mins.
Bake the buns in the oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 30 minutes.
While they are still warm brush with some more melted margarine and sprinkle over some more brown sugar.
Enjoy!

Those look adorable AND delicious, a combination I find irresistible. Thanks for the recipe.
I've never heard of Chelsea buns! Are they like cinnamon rolls? And what are sultanas? Like big raisins? They look light and fluffy and delicious!
yum! I am SO making these! And please, may I come to tea as well?
Bianca - I've never had cinnamon rolls so I don't know if they are similar!! You've never heard of sultanas?? That does surprise me - they are generally smaller than raisins and juicier too, but raisins would work just as well.
Trinity - you are so invited.
:)
would you believe i've never made any cinnamon rolls before, Jeni?! your chelsea buns look perfect, delicious, and so cute!!!! i've gotta make these and i think they'd be pretty easy to deglutenize as well. oooooh, i can't wait to try 'em out - thanks for the recipe!
dang it! already did my breadbaking for the day! :)
Jes' sweet potato rolls got to me first!
Nice buns!! Mwahaha! They look delicious... but raisins/sultanas and I are sworn enemies. Would it be completely blasphemous to make them with chocolate chips instead? :D
That makes both of us Jessy! I'm intrigued to see how similar they are to Chelsea Buns so I will have to make them soon too.
Oooh River - a whole new bun concept is forming in my head!
Oh wow, that looks so delicious. Totally going to make them soon!
I've never heard of Chelsea buns either, but I want them in my house! :)
these looks amazing.. im going to make theses...
Give us a bun! Looks delicious, and now you've got me craving 'em!
These look good! We love cinnamon buns here (and sultanas!) so I must try these.
Loved your hot cross bun stories. I'm going with the Easter Bunny one...
are you on a bun fest? I think so! I guess the diff between cinnamon rolls & chelsea buns is the cinnamon. I'll take any bun :)
Jeni, those sound great! Now I'm wantin' buns.
This totally makes me want to have a brunch!!
Delicious! Looks like they'd be great with tea.
Awwww, mine went all crispy.:( I think the yeast didn't foam properly in the beginning.
Still nice and soft in the middle!
