Vegan cinnamon buns with dark chocolate and figs just sounds like fall, right? The season was on my mind in a heavy way when I was working on this recipe. All those notions of nesting and cranking the oven at every opportunity. The arrival of ripe figs marks the beginning of the end as far as summer’s concerned. There’s the juicy sweetness that speaks to sunny days. But that underlying deep, wine-y note really gets me excited for the cozy months ahead.

Pairing them with chocolate in a cinnamon bun seemed almost too indulgent, but I had to try it to see if it would work. There’s a little spelt flour and coconut oil in there to increase the vibrational frequency though, don’t worry. These cinnamon buns are most ideal within a couple hours of baking for obvious reasons. They’re gooey, soft and the fresh orange in the glaze brings a bit of brightness.
