breakfast should be fun, delicious and nourishing, and that’s just what Healthier Vegan Banana Walnut Cinnamon Rolls are! they’re absolutely scrumptious and taste like dessert, yet you can eat them for breakfast!
whole wheat flour is used to Healthier Vegan Banana Walnut Cinnamon Rolls and there is no yeast required!
these gems are baked at 350 degrees for 18 minutes, so you get that gooey and slightly doughy center. it truly is divine.

since these are banana walnut, the base of the dough does have mashed banana in it, so it’s very similar to banana bread.
then, the center filling is made with mashed banana, a little bit of maple syrup, cinnamon and walnuts.
if you’re not a fan of walnuts, just omit them altogether or replace them with another nut.
if i had to choose a replacement, i would definitely go with pecans!
to keep Healthier Vegan Banana Walnut Cinnamon Rolls on the more nourishing side for breakfast, i would say omit frosting and replace it with vegan cream cheese.
however, if you are looking for something more decadent, then vanilla frosting is a great option.
you can make your own vanilla frosting or opt for store-bought like i did! simple mills is usually my go-to frosting option.
