How to Make Easy Vegan Carrot, Zucchini and Walnut Rolls

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at St Andrews chapter.

As far as carbs go, bread isn’t my favourite. I know that sliced loaves are useful, that baguettes are great for picnics and, sure, I will wolf down a walnut loaf if you give me one, but I hardly ever choose to buy bread.

I also don’t bake much bread. It can be time-consuming (waiting for dough to rise) and honestly I’m often too lazy to knead it. Fortunately, this recipe fulfills my wish for a quick fancy set of rolls with little hassle. And it’s kinda healthy, or at least, I can tell myself that.
