Whole wheat eggless cinnamon roll is sweet, soft, fluffy and delicious warm roll. It is prepared with whole wheat flour, yeast, butter, brown sugar and as the name goes it screams cinnamon flavor.

Traditionally cinnamon rolls are made with all purpose flour and eggs like this Cinnamon rolls. But I wanted to try making it with whole wheat flour and eggless version, so here it is. This recipe uses 100% whole wheat.

These warm gooey rolls are classic desserts during any autumn or winter season. The best thing to be relished while watching some classics this holiday season.

When its cold outside or when it rains we are always tempted to eat hot foods which are mostly fried but these warm rolls are baked so a little guilt free ones I suppose. Try baking this at home and it shall smell divine with cinnamon flavors. Talking about holiday you should try making these recipes which are blog hits I must say:

INGREDIENTS TO MAKE CINNAMON ROLLS:

Flour: This recipe calls for whole wheat flour. But could be replaced with all purpose flour too which yields soft, fluffy and textured rolls. Bread flour can also be used.

Warm Milk: Milk needs to be lukewarm to activate yeast. Whole milk works like magic. It makes the rolls rich tasting. It can be substituted with 2% milk, Almond milk, butter milk or even with low fat milk. Skip no fat milk.

Yeast: Instant yeast cuts down on wait time. It helps the rolls to rise faster. Active dry yeast also works well but the wait time is little extra. This recipe used Active dry yeast.

Butter: Unsalted melted butter for a rich dough and filling.

Granulated sugar: It helps to activate yeast.

Brown sugar: It adds taste and color. Dark or light brown sugar both works.

Cinnamon powder: It adds flavor and elevates the rolls.

So let’s get to the making of Eggless whole wheat cinnamon rolls!
