Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and brown sugar; sprinkle yeast over it and let it sit until foamy.
Add melted butter, eggs, and salt into the yeast mixture; mix well.
Gradually add whole wheat flour, kneading until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise until doubled in size.
Roll dough into a rectangle, spread melted butter, and sprinkle cinnamon and sugar mixture over it.
Roll tightly and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish.
Cover and let rise again until doubled. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before drizzling with icing made from icing sugar and vanilla.

Notes

For extra flavor, add raisins or nuts to the filling before rolling up the dough.
Ensure that the milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
These cinnamon rolls can be frozen before baking for later use.
