Step one

Add milk to bowl of stand mixer; sprinkle yeast over top. Let stand for about 5 minutes or until frothy. Stir in sugar, egg, egg yolk and 1/4 cup (60 mL) Earth Balance Creamy Peanut & Flaxseed Spread. In a separate small bowl, whisk together flour and salt; stir into yeast mixture until dough starts to form.
Step two

Using dough hook, knead dough for 3 to 5 minutes or until slightly sticky dough forms. Transfer to lightly floured work surface; knead until smooth.
Step three

Spray large bowl with PAM® Original Cooking Spray. Transfer dough to prepared bowl; cover with plastic wrap or tea towel. Let stand for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
Step four

Spray 9-inch (23 cm) round metal baking pan with Pam Baking Spray. Transfer dough to work surface; roll out into 14- x 9-inch (35 x 23 cm) rectangle. Combine 1 1/4 cups (300 mL) Creamy Peanut & Flaxseed Spread, honey and cinnamon; spread over dough, leaving 1/2-inch (1 cm) border around all edges. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup (125 mL) almonds.
Step five

Roll dough into log; slice into eight 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) thick pieces. Arrange pieces cut side down in prepared baking pan; cover with plastic wrap or warm tea towel. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Step six

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and set. Remove from oven; let cool for 10 minutes.
Step seven

Whisk remaining Creamy Peanut & Flaxseed Spread with 2 tbsp (30 mL) water until smooth; spread over buns. Sprinkle with remaining almonds.
