We were running late.
It was my turn to do breakfast for the weekend and we still needed to eat and make it to church by 930...it was 8am.
When I say these cinnamon rolls are quick AND easy, I'm not lying...
and they're whole wheat?? You're welcome.
They probably took me all of 15 minutes to prep, popped em in the oven for 25 and we were sitting pretty scarfing down cinnamon rolls by 850am just in time for church.
It's Monday and that means there's lots to do so I'll be keeping this post short and sweet.. just like these fabulous cinnamon treats! :)
Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls
Adapted from Brunch: The Perfect Weekend Treat
Oven: 350 Bake time:30-35 minutes
Makes 8 rolls
Dough:
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
pinch of salt
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
3 1/2 oz butter, melted
2 egg yolks
3/4 cup milk
Filling:
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 TBS sugar
1 TBS butter, melted
Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 TBS milk
Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8-inch cake pan and line with parchment paper.
Mix flour, slat, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
Whisk egg yolks, butter and milk together and combine with dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough is made.
Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and roll into a rectangle 12x10 inches.
Make filling by mixing all ingredients together.
Spread evenly over dough and roll up, jelly roll style, to form a log.
Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 8 even slices and place in prepared pan.
Brush with TBS of milk.
Transfer to oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
As rolls are cooling slight, make icing by stirring milk, one tablespoon at a time, into powdered sugar until glaze consistency is reached (add more milk if necessary). Drizzle over cooling cinnamon rolls.
Devour.
Happy Baking!

Baking powder saves the day! Those look fantastic and with the whole wheat, that makes them almost healthy, right?
Yum! Those look so delicious!
Yes, thank you very much indeed! These look really amazing! May I please come over and have one? haha. Nice work lady, they look awesome!
Huge fan of whole wheat, makes the recipe feel a little healthier :-) I have a similar recipe: http://tinyurl.com/4r3akzq
looks fab! loved the wheat version on cinnamon rolls- good, sumptuous and healthy!
Ooo - wish I had this for breakfast!
Yum! I have never baked with whole wheat flour,t hese look so delicious, i may have to go buy some!
this sounds absolutely lovely! yum!
Whole wheat AND the dough doesn't have to rise? AWESOME!
Brilliant solution...and yummy, too!
What a great idea using whole wheat. Definitely need to try because my mouth is watering right now!
These look so good! I've never made whole wheat cinnamon rolls, must try it soon. Great and fast recipe.
I love that these cinnamon rolls are so quick to make. I've never had whole wheat cinnamon rolls before, they look amazing! :)
Well this makes perfect sense! No yeast means actually eating these in a reasonable period of time! They look just as good as if they took hours to proof :)
You said cinnamon rolls so I had to come! Well I would have anyway but I came running for these. :-) I like the whole wheat idea and when you say quick, sold! I go to 9:30 service too and I NEVER even consider baking anything beforehand. Maybe that will change with these gorgeous babies!
Have a great week, Evan. :-)
I love these quick and easy cinnamon rolls, whole wheat flour is all the better in my book. They do look good, just the kind of baking I like to do on my weekend, thanks for sharing and have a great week;-)
I never think of homemade cinnamon rolls as being a quick breakfast...this is definitely a winning recipe in my book :) And I definitely think whole wheat means I can eat an extra...or two :) Hope your week is starting off well!
Homemade Cinnamon rolls intimidate me for sure. I know, it's so silly. I'm very tempted to make these though and give a shot.
Thanks everybody :) I can't wait for you all to try them out!
Oh yummy! Nothing reminds me of my mom like cinnamon rolls. I would love to make these for my guys.
These look great, and they can be done in less than an hour? Sold!
Quick and easy is good for me...these look fantastic :)
How great to have a cinnamon roll recipe that is so quick and uses whole wheat.
Oh Evan, can I have a few?? or the entire batch? Please!? :) They look fantabulous!
no yeast cinnamon rolls? that's a time saver and they look delicious. thanks for sharing
The whole wheat would make me feel less guilty about having seconds. ;)
These look so good, and I can't believe how quick they are! Definitely a must try!
That looks wonderful.
Wonderful Recipe. I just made these, I used organic applesauce in place of the butter, exact measurement. I used my bread maker to make the dough. Next time I will add crushed nuts to the filling. These came out thick and fully baked at 34 minutes...Thank You for the healthy recipe!
