Alexa Plant Food Vegan VANILLA MATCHA ROLLS!

Vegan VANILLA MATCHA ROLLS!
Who’s down? Tag a friend and grab the recipe below! Perfect for this weekend ❣️ Vanilla matcha rolls
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 packet instant (or rapid-rise) yeast
4 tbsp vegan butter (I use earth balance) *divided*
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
pinch of salt
1 tbsp @aiyamatcha matcha
4 tbsp cane sugar *divided*
1 cups organic powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large bowl place the almond milk and 2 Tbsp vegan butter, place in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds or until warm and vegan butter melted,  Remove from heat and let cool to be warm (not hot!).Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle on yeast but do not stir. Let mixture sit for 10 minutes. Then add 1 Tbsp sugar and the salt and stir.
2. Next add in flour 1/2 cup at a time, stirring as you go. You can then use your hands as it will get difficult to stir because it will become thick! Transfer the dough to a floured surface and kneed for 30 seconds to a minute. Add your dough ball back into your mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size!
4. In a small bowl combine 3 tbsp cane and 1 tbsp matcha and mix until well combined.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin rectangle. Brush with 2 Tbsp melted vegan butter. Then sprinkle over your sugar and matcha mixture,
6.Starting at one end, tightly roll up the dough and situate seam side down. Then with a serrated knife cut the dough into 1.5 – 2 inch sections and position in a well-buttered 8×8-inch square or comparable sized round pan (you should have about 8 rolls). Brush with remaining 1 Tbsp vegan butter (melted) and cover with plastic wrap. Set on top of the oven to let rise for 15 minutes & preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

@libfestival brought me closer with myself and below I explain a little something I came to realize.
I could sit here and tell you “be kind to yourself” & “love yourself”... all of which are beautiful things to say but I am being so honest with you all, I find these phrases so difficult to reach at times, and It would be silly &hypocritical of me to act as if I got it all figured out. So here’s my truth & what weighs on my heart.
Here’s the thing loves, yes I do what I love each day. I get to cook & create recipes for all of you and my heart literally explodes with happiness when you guys love what I create. The support & love brings the biggest smile to my face & I am truly forever grateful. I’m in love with the most amazing being and I’m lucky to have incredible friends and family to fill my heart with pure joy. I am loved & I know I am blessed.
I’m lucky to receive the purest love from all the people in my life from friends to even strangers. The support I receive is truly unreal and keeps me so inspired.
Although, Lets be honest...self love is HARD AS HELL, and I feel as if I’m the first one to just say it.
Do I think I’m great, successful, creative enough, special, talented...on most days the answer is no. I rarely ever cheer myself on, or think what I have created is great, enough, or express love for myself.
Hundreds or even thousands of people could cheer me on, shower me with love and warm my heart but why can’t I do it for myself? I have so much love to give but I rarely give it to myself, Or even think or say the slightest positive thing about my doing in this world. I always think I SHOULD do better and this is all a reflection of me not honoring and loving me.
I am happy to say, I am finally working on ME. Each day I am trying... trying so hard to show up for myself and I am sharing THIS to show you that you can too and to let you know you’re are never alone in how you’re feeling. It’s ok to feel. It’s ok to have dark thoughts. YOU ARE HUMAN. But you also deserve love, not just love from a lover, friend, family or a stranger but Love from YOU.
Become friends with yourself, show up for yourself :-)
Side note: this ๐Ÿฅฅ ๐Ÿฆwas amazing✨
