Raw Gooey Cinnamon Buns

recipe from The Renegade Health Show

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cup almond meal
  • 1 cup ground flax seed
  • 1 1/4 cup soft pitted dates
  • 1/4 cup water or more if needed
  • 1/4 cup softened coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp coconut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Directions:

Fold the almond meal, ground flax seed, 1 tbsp cinnamon, pinch sea salt, and pinch of vanilla in a bowl. Set aside. Process dates, 1/2 of the raisins, water and vanilla into a paste in a food processor. Then remove half of that paste mixture and add it to the dry ingredients, along with the coconut oil. Mix these ingredients with your hands until it forms a dough. You may need to add a little water or oil if it is too dry. Spread the dough out on a piece of parchment paper, and shape it into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Take the rest of the date paste left in your food processor add the remaining raisins, 1 tbsp of cinnamon and coconut butter. Process until smooth. Then, spread a thin layer of the paste onto the dough. Using the parchment paper to help hold everything together, carefully roll the dough into a log. Chill in the refrigerator, and then slice into about 1-inch thick rounds. These cinnamon rolls can be eaten right away or warmed in a dehydrator.
