Whole Wheat Lemon Rolls

Whole Wheat Lemon Rolls

What do we have here? Cinnamon rolls? No! These are whole wheat LEMON rolls. A fusion of the feeling you have sitting on a porch swing on a warm summer night sipping a lemonade and the guilt-ridden, yet pleasurable feeling you have eating a homemade and gooey cinnamon roll.

Whole Wheat Lemon Rolls

Treat yourself to a sensory experience filled with sweet, tangy wonder, yet love yourself with a whole grain and wholesome bread that you know is good because you made it with these delicious whole wheat lemon rolls.

We love the smell of lemon. We use it when we want a clean and enlivening feeling and because of that you will love each step of making these rolls. We haven’t convinced you to love lemon? This whole wheat lemon rolls recipe is adaptable for whatever citrus fruit you love! Okay, so maybe the only other one you’d try is orange… but that would be just as easy and wonderful to make.
