A much healthier option than the white sugar, palm sugar gives a caramelized and lovely flavors to the baked goodies.  Nutty bowl.. Grease a dish with oil and spread the coarse nuts into it.  Yeast doing its work.. Method; Mix the yeast & 1 tsp. of honey in the warm water and keep it aside for 10 minutes. Crush the walnuts and pistachio nuts and make a coarse powder or better cut it with knife into small pieces if you have time & patience! Mix the cinnamon powder with 11/2 tbsp of Palm sugar in a small cup and keep it aside. Take the flour in a broad vessel and make a well in it. Add honey, oil, yogurt ad half tbsp. of Palm sugar into it. Combine the whole ingredients together and form a lump, it will be very sticky at the beginning stage. Keep kneading for 5 minutes using a little oil in your hand. Put the dough over the greased dish with the nuts. Cover it with a lid and keep it to rise for about 1 hour.  Cinnamon & Palm sugar mix... Take out the risen dough and punch the air out from it, knead it lightly for 5 minutes and roll it into a flat rectangle of 1 cm. using your hands or a rolling pin. Brush the rolled out dough with butter and sprinkle the cinnamon & palm sugar mix over it evenly.  Rolled for 2nd rise.. Roll the rectangle from one end to the other end and in the shape of a log. Secure the edges tightly and cut into 12 thick roundels. Arrange them on a greased baking sheet, cover and let it rise again for 1 hour or more till it doubles in size.  Well risen after 2 hours.. Well risen cinnamon roundels, mine took almost 2 hours to come to this size since I used wholewheat in the the recipe.  Hot in the oven.. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes at 200°C or till it is done. Take out from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Remove the rolls from the baking sheet and store them in an airtight container.  Baked beauties! The golden beauties arranged for a quick photo shoot before they become history!  Up and close! The spirals look wonderful, and the nuts peeping out from the rolls are making it more scrumptious…  With my tea... Had a quick bite straight from the oven with my cuppa…Mmmm
 Soft and fluffy! Much closer look into the rolls and you will enjoy the beauty more..light & fluffy! .. Drizzled with honey.. Savor the rolls as it is or sprinkle powder sugar and serve. Drizzle honey or Maple syrup over the rolls and indulge in.  Cinnamon here..cinnamon there! Loaded with cinnamon these rolls are a real joy to share it with your friends and family. And the walnuts in every bite is what gives a distinct taste & crunch to these cinnamon rolls from its other cousins. Notes;

Cinnamon rolls are a very common breakfast feast in many European counties. A soft and flavorful yeast buns I would love to munch upon any time of the day. Though the lazy & the busy will find it a bit tough nut to crack, which includes me too
As the resting hours are really intimidating and test your patience levels to the full! But the end results are sure to make you ecstatic.
To make these cinnamon rolls loaded with nutrients I added Palm sugar instead of the regular white sugar. Honey , walnuts, cinnamon and wholewheat are the other contestants fighting for their place in the health chart of these cinnamon rolls. Palm sugar gave a very caramelized and lovely flavors to the rolls.
Walnuts ready to go in...
Ingredients;
(makes 12 medium cinnamon rolls)
Palm sugar..another healthy option for baking!
