It's important to note that while these ingredients can contribute to the overall nutritional profile of the dish, moderation is key. Additionally, individual nutritional needs vary, and it's always a good idea to consider your own dietary requirements and preferences. If you have specific health concerns or dietary restrictions, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian.

Ingredient Alternatives:

1. Coconut Milk:

• If not concerned about keeping it vegan, regular cow's milk is an option.

1. SweetLeaf Sweeteners Reduced Sugar Coconut Sugar Sweetener:

• Substitute with any other sweetener of your choice, such as maple syrup, agave nectar, or regular sugar.

1. Vegan Butter:

• Use coconut oil, olive oil, or another vegan butter alternative.

1. All-Purpose Flour:

• For a healthier option, you can use whole wheat flour or a mixture of whole wheat and all-purpose flour.

• Use them to make small sandwiches with your favorite plant-based fillings.

Storage:

• Dinner Rolls: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2-3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

• Butter Glaze: Store any leftover glaze in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Before using, bring it to room temperature or gently heat to make it easier to brush onto the rolls.

Remember to consider individual dietary preferences and any allergies when making ingredient substitutions.
