What is the middle layer?
ThanksReply

There is no middle layer. Sometimes the topping gets swirled down a little or even sinks down a little and it is the cinnamon and stuff that you are seeing.

I am dairy free and cannot find a dairy free butter substitute that melts like real butter and tastes like butter. I use Earth Balance Soy Free for sandwiches and buttering cooked food, but it melts very watery. Any suggestions? I try and avoid soy and “natural and artificial flavors” additives.

Do you think butter flavored Crisco would work?
- Jill
Yes in something like this it would be really yummy

Maybe coconut oil or coconut juice in the can or a 1/2 cup blended cashews
- Jill
Those things aren’t bad but they are way more expensive and if you are trying to get out of debt something less expensive would be better.

This is similar to cinnamon rolls without all the work but just as delicious! The best part is I had all the ingredients!
Be sure to read the recipe through before starting.
I may reduce the salt next time… but there will be a next time!Reply
