Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Scatter the almonds on a small baking sheet and toast the almonds in the oven for 5 minutes or until they turn a light brown.  Then, quickly remove almonds from the oven so they will not scorch.  Place the almonds on a paper towel for them to cool.
2. In a bowl with a stand up mixer fitted with a padded attachment, combine the yeast, sugar, and water.  Set that mixture aside for 5 minutes or until the entire mixture is frothy (meaning the yeast is viable).
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, agave or maple syrup, and salt; then set aside.  Take out a large bowl, whisk flour and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon together.  Add the coconut mixture and 1- ½ cups of flour mixture to the mixer bowl and blend on low speed until thoroughly combined.
4. Switch the dough to hook and add remaining flour, mixing on medium-low speed until dough comes together.  Then knead for 5-6 minutes or until dough is smooth.  Lightly flour a smooth surface and dump the dough mixture on it and for the dough into a ball.  Then place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel and set aside in a warm daft free place.  Let the dough rise for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
5. Punch the dough down and transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, then roll dough into a rectangle about ¼ – inch thick.  In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, together the almonds, ¼ cup of brown sugar and remaining cinnamon.
6. Brush the dough with about 2/3 of the margarine and sprinkle with almond mixture.  Then using a sharp knife cut through the dough lengthwise into 12 strips.  Roll each strip to form a roll.
7. Spray a 10-inch round baking pan with cooking spray, place the cinnamon rolls in a pan (cut side down) and cover with a damp towel.  Let cinnamon rolls rise for 20 minutes then brush the remaining butter and sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar.  Place back in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.  The serve.
