Vegan Orange Rolls

You can make these with real butter, or with a vegan substitute.  Regardless, I think they taste the same (or close enough).  And...yay...it's actually vegan....a new road some of my family is on....which makes meals together...interesting.  Every great once in awhile I stumble upon something that doesn't take a lot of tweaking to make it vegan. The original recipe came from homebasedmom.  I just used some butter substitutes when it called for butter.    Orange rolls have been universally loved for those of those who are still carnivores and pea protein lovers.  If you have special food needs, or...just like orange rolls...here's a quick and easy way to whip them up.
