Breakfasts
1. Apple-Maple Cinnamon Rolls
While these naturally sweet rolls are a real treat, they also have lots of nutritional value.
Servings: 12
Total Time: 3hours 40mins
Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (105-115 degrees F)
1 ( ounce) package active dry yeast
2 cups white whole wheat flour
cup pure maple syrup
cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tbsp flaxseed meal
tsp sea salt
1-1 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups cooking apples (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)
cup raisins
3 tbsp apple juice (divided)
3 tbsp pure maple syrup (divided)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions:
Combine the almond milk and yeast in a bowl, and set aside to stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the wheat flour, maple syrup, applesauce, flaxseed meal, and salt. Next, stir in the flour to create an elastic and smooth dough consistency. You will need 1-1 cups but begin by adding 1 cup. This step will take 3-5 minutes.
Turn the flour out onto a lightly-floured, clean worktop. Shape the dough into a ball and transfer to a bowl. Cover the bowl and allow to rise in a warm environment and until doubled. This step will take 1-1 hours.
In the meantime, prepare the filling. Combine the apples, raisins, 2 tablespoons of apple juice, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup in a pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, and over moderate heat, cook while occasionally stirring for 5 minutes.
Add the remaining apple juice to the apple mixture, and stir to combine. Then, stir in the cinnamon and cook for an additional 60 seconds before cooling.
Punch the dough down, and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Cover the dough, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Line a 13x9 baking pan with parchment paper.
Roll the dough out into an 18x12 rectangle shape.
Spread the filling over the dough, leaving 1 unfilled, along a long side. Beginning from the long and filled side, roll the dough up to create a rectangle. Pinch the dough to seal the seam, and cut into 12 even slices.
Arrange the slices in the prepared pan cover and allow to rise in a warm environment, for 45 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
Preheat the main oven to 375 degrees F.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, for 30 minutes. Brush the remaining maple syrup over the top, and lift out the rolls using the parchment paper.
Allow to cool on a wire baking rack for 25-30 minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy.
