Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 spotty bananas
  • Cinnamon
  • 1 cup Medjool dates (about 12)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Optional: 1 tsp vanilla and/or a pinch of salt

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 250F
  • Slice the bananas lengthwise into 3 strips each (see tips in the post and watch the video for technique).
  • Lay out the slices on 2 baking trays lined with parchment paper. Do not overcrowd. I recommend 6 slices per tray. If you have any smaller strips that broke, lay them out too.
  • Bake for 1 hour at 250F.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool for 15-20 mins.
  • Gently run a finger or dull knife under each slice to release it from the pan. Flip them over so the side with more moisture is facing upwards.
  • Blend all the ingredients for the date paste.
  • Spread about 1 tablespoon of date paste down the length of a banana slice. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll.
  • Repeat with the remaining slices. You can roll the shorter pieces inside the longer strips.
  • Arrange all the rolls on one lined pan.
  • Return them to the oven for 1.5-2 hours at 250F.
  • Remove from the oven. Allow to cool. Eat immediately or refrigerate for a firmer consistency. Keep leftovers in the fridge.
