Why is it worth baking carrot swirls?
Today I have a very autumnal suggestion for you – super quick and simple carrot rolls swirls. These buns are prepared without yeast, so the dough doesn’t need to rise for a long time. And making it will take at most 10 minutes. If you haven’t baked swirl-type buns before because you don’t know how to handle yeast, then these carrot baking powder buns are just for you! You absolutely must try this recipe, especially since such carrot buns are not only an ideal dessert to go with a cup of hot tea, but also a wonderful snack during the day, and even a sweet breakfast that will provide plenty of energy for a good start to the day!
Ingredients needed for carrot rolls with nuts
To make these simple sweet carrot buns you won’t need any fancy ingredients! Everything is very basic, and you either already have them or can easily get them at any store. Below is a condensed list of the products I used and possible substitutes.
- carrot – one medium carrot is enough here – mine weighed 80g after peeling, it can be a little more or less. Thanks to the carrot, the buns are moister and have a nicer color, and you also sneak some vegetables into your daily diet :)
- nuts – nuts added to the filling make the carrot rolls wonderfully crunchy, and at the same time add healthy, natural fats. I used coarsely chopped pecans here, but you can use other nuts – e.g., walnuts or hazelnuts, or even more exotic nuts – such as cashews or Brazil nuts.
- butter – I used extra butter with 82% fat content, you can also use mixed butter, or even vegetable butter
- milk – I used 1.5% UHT milk, but any milk will be fine – including plant-based milk
Can you make vegan carrot rolls?
Yes, this recipe is easy to convert to a vegan version. As I wrote above – replace the butter for the dough and filling with vegetable margarine, and milk with a plant-based drink. You can substitute the egg added to the dough with half of a well-mashed banana :) You can bake them in the morning and then you’ll get amazing vegan carrot rolls for breakfast, or for a second breakfast at work or for children at school.
How to store homemade carrot buns?
After baking, let the buns cool and then spread them with icing. The icing not only adds sweetness to the buns but also protects their surface and prevents the bun dough from drying out as much. I also recommend transferring any uneaten buns immediately to an airtight container with a lid. This way, the carrot buns with nuts will retain their freshness even longer and will be perfect for eating.
You can also freeze carrot rolls for about 3 months and then reheat them whenever you crave something delicious and aromatic.
