Whole Wheat Mini Cinnis

March 21, 2018 by Salubrious RD Leave a Comment

It’s recipe redux time and the theme for this week is “show us your favorite family recipes for springtime celebrations”

We love cinnamon rolls in our house. I mean, we really love cinnamon rolls. So much so, that I developed a faster version of mini cinnamon rolls that wouldn’t take so long to prepare. The one I usually make is with regular all-purpose flour and they are delicious! For this month’s recipe redux challenge, I decided I would try my hand at making these with 100% whole wheat flour. No white flour here.

Luckily, that was the only change I made from my regular one. And, here’s the truth, I already cut back on the butter and sugar, so I didn’t feel the need to cut back any more.

So, why the whole wheat? You are probably thinking, “geez, Sarah, if I’m going to eat a cinnamon rolls, just give me the white flour”

Well, here’s the thing. When my 6 year old doesn’t care if his cinnamon roll is made with whole wheat flour or white flour, I’m going to do the whole wheat flour – and that’s what happened today.

And one more thing. Maybe it’s the over 40 in me right now, but I have definitely taken notice of my fiber intake. I guess I never think it’s enough. Let me tell you, I make some pretty dang good white bread, but it doesn’t have much fiber. So, I started making rye bread, which is really good, so I’ve increased my fiber there. Fruits and veggies are the usual suspects to round out my fiber intake on most days.

I make my own granola bars, so add whole grain oats to the fiber tally and then a couple of times a week, I’ll make some popcorn – more fiber.

Let’s just say if I can get whole grain in my dessert, I’m all for it. I think I’m hitting my 25g fiber goal!

They look good don’t they? If you need a little extra help making these, here’s a handy dandy instructional video;)
