Inspired by the intricate appearance of babka and kanelbuller, these beautiful, soft buns are swirled with a spiced blueberry jam. If blueberry isn't your jam (see what we did there?), using a chocolate spread or a cinnamon sugar mix would be just as fun.

Delicious! Can't wait to make them again with different jams!

10 out of 10! At first I was a bit intimidated, because I never really baked with yeast before. But I had so much fun making these😍 and they taste amazing too! Taking them to the office tomorrow, but if I am honest: they are to good to share. I want eat them all by myself 😋😍
Thank you for this recipe! ❤️

We're so glad you had fun baking them, Sarah! Your coworkers are in for a treat - if you decide to share, that is 😜

Is it possible to replace the butter with a different oil or something?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Oct. 3, 2024, 7:06 p.m.

Hi Maria, we haven’t had a chance to try it ourselves yet, but using a refined coconut oil could be an option. It has a neutral flavour and stays solid at room temperature, which might work well. If you experiment with a liquid oil, the bread may turn out a bit more crumbly and less moist. Hope this helps for now 🤗

Maria - Oct. 4, 2024, 2:25 p.m.

Thanks a lot :) maybe I'll have time to try both and compare!

It took us > 2 h to make them and 10 min to eat them 😜.

I made these with a different filling and they were awesome!! I used a speculoos spread and cinnamon sugar sprinkle since we didn’t have jam.

These are the best vegan buns I’ve ever made! I didn’t use any jam, just sugar and cardamom, and I made the dough in a bread maker. Everyone, including non-vegans, loved them!

Such a big compliment, M S, we're thrilled to hear the buns were enjoyed by everyone!

I just made these buns on a cozy Saturday afternoon because not just one but both my flatmates wanted to get rid of their blueberry jam - and what a perfect way to do so! I was a bit too generous with the filling so they didn’t look as neat as in the pictures but they were super tasty nonetheless (and that way the filling added a lot of flavour which is not a negative in my eyes ^^) :D definitely recommend

Love when the stars align like that, Ricarda! So glad that the swirl buns were enjoyed too 🙌


Hanni - April 23, 2024, 1:39 p.m.

Hey, could you add the "dessert" tag to this? 🙈

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 24, 2024, 5:17 p.m.

Hey Hanni! Added 😊✔️

I wish I could post a picture, but they look and taste delicious. Need some selfcontrol to not eat them all at once 🤣

The butter and cinnamon is game changer


Margarita Kuzina - April 19, 2024, 9:51 a.m.

I'm making those for tomorrow!!
