Soft and fluffy carob rolls for perfect start of the day!
These rolls always remind us of our childhood, because we had them for breakfast so often when we were younger! We usually ate them with milk or chocolate milk and enjoyed every bite of it. You can also get them in almost every bakery here in Slovenia, but unfortunately, they are not vegan. So we decided to creat our own vegan carob rolls and they’re even better than we remember! They are really soft and fluffy and taste amazing!
We usually have smoothies or oats for breakfast but sometimes we love having some kind of rolls or buns! We usually have a cheat day on Sunday’s and we bake some sweet buns or rolls and enjoy them with our family.
These rolls are pretty simple to make and taste amazing. If you love carob, you’ll love those. Carob is really sweet so you won’t need to add to much sugar. Although it’s sweet, it doesn’t have a lot of sugar and is actually really healthy because it has a lot of antioxidants and fiber.
If you want to prepare them, here is a recipe and you can also watch a video of how they’re made.
