Cinnamon rolls have been on my to-bake list for the longest time. So finally I made these wholewheat eggless overnight cinnamon rolls during Thanksgiving holidays. My ever enthusiastic 7 year old helped me bake these. These are for Day 3 of this week’s BM under ‘Holiday Special’ theme.
Eggless Overnight Cinnamon Rolls:
Baking cinnamon rolls for breakfast/ brunch sounds great in theory. But unless you wake up very early in the morning, these won’t get to the table for breakfast. And I am not a early riser on the weekend. So this overnight cinnamon roll recipe is just perfect for all us late-risers. All the ingredients for the dough are mixed up at night and it goes straight into the fridge. This gives the dough a nice slow rise enhancing the flavor. In the morning, all you have to do is let the dough get to room temperature. Roll the dough, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and cut into rolls. Let rise until puffy and bake until golden.
Ingredients for Eggless Cinnamon Rolls:
Dough enriched with butter and eggs is typically used to make cinnamon rolls. To make these eggless, I used egg replacer powder. Flaxseed meal is also a good alternate for eggs in this recipe. All purpose flour is generally used to make cinnamon rolls. But I used a combination of wholewheat pastry flour and all purpose flour to add some fiber to the recipe. You can also use white whole wheat flour. [recipe-video]
Soft & Fluffy Sweet Rolls:
These wholewheat eggless cinnamon rolls turned out soft and fluffy even with the addition of wheat flour. You can use only all purpose flour too. The final icing on these rolls makes them extra delicious. Do try these out for your family. I’m sure they will love them as much as mine did.
Tips for Storing leftover Cinnamon Rolls:
If there are any leftovers, cool them completely before storing in an airtight container. They stay fresh for up to 3 days. Warm them in the microwave or in a low oven before serving They can be also be frozen for up to a month. Perfect treat to have in the freezer during the busy holiday season!!
