Raw Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

This recipe has 3 ingredients that work amazing together - bananas, dates and cinnamon. You will need a dehydrator for this recipe.

Ingredients 4 bananas 10 dates 1-1.5 tsp of cinnamon Instructions

1- Cut the banana length-wise, about 1/4 inch thick and following their natural curve

2- Sprinkle generously with cinnamon on both sides (see picture)

3- Put in the dehydrator for 6-8 hours, at 115 F

4- Soak the dates for 20-30 minutes and puree 

5- Spread the date paste on the bananas and roll them like mini-cinnamon rolls

6- Leave for another 2 hours at 115 F in the dehydrator

The key to this recipe is the cinnamon !

I have also sprinkled a very little salt. You can try with  or without.

This is how much cinnamon to sprinkle... on both sides. quite a lot. 

Enjoy !
