Finally i baked today Eggless version of cinnamon rolls...I prepared it as a healthy version with whole wheat flour without preparing completely with all purpose flour, i decreased the quantity of all purpose flour and increased the quantity of whole wheat flour..To receive benefit from the wholesomeness of wheat it is important to choose wheat products made from whole wheat flour rather than those that are refined and stripped of their natural goodness. Whole grains are a rich source of magnesium, a mineral that acts as a co-factor for more than 300 enzymes, including enzymes involved in the body's use of glucose and insulin secretion..whole wheat flour is not the main ingredients of baked goods, as it adds a certain heaviness which prevents them from rising as well as white flour, this is the reason i have added less quantity of all purpose flour in this cinnamon rolls..Coming to this cinnamon rolls its a eggless version but not the vegan, since i used melted butter to the dough which turns this cinnamon rolls too delicious...We enjoyed having this cinnamon rolls for our evening snacks...Yummy cinnamon rolls goes straight to Madhuram's
