These sticky swirly sweet banana cinnamon rolls are healthier, simpler, and sweeter than any ordinary cinnamon roll, and made in the oven with only fruit!
There are a lot of fruits I miss from my week at the Woodstock Fruit Festival.The sweetjuice-drippy mangoes. The perfectly petite strawberry papayas. The hot pink pitayas that I suspect willnever show up in any grocery store around here (especially sincespell check doesn’t even believe ‘pitaya’ is a word). But there is onefruity sweet snack I miss most of all…
Banana Cinnamon Rolls!And when I mentioned them many of you seemed pretty eager to try them too, so I am finallysharing that recipe. Although I must say I will miss the delicious job ofrecipe testing these.
Fortunately dates, bananas, and cinnamon are neither exotic nor elusive ingredients. However, thesebread-lessbuns are typically a raw recipe made in the dehydrator. But I don’t have a dehydrator, soI experimented withanother way…
The oven. It’s the oven obviously. There is no other secret magical banana-drying method or anything, at least not the I know about. But rather than use the oven like a mock dehydrator at it’s lowest setting and have to wait forever for your sticky swirlyrolls, Iexperimented until I found the highest possible temp that would still dry them out butnot actually bake or burn them.Higher temperature = faster cook time = snacking sooner!
And I actually found the texture preferable with this method too–not as gooey need-twelve-napkinsmessy. You can pick up and eatthese little banana bundles with grace.
It’s still a low and slow process that will take a few hours, but most of that time is just waiting while the oven does it’s work. The actual ingredients and assembly is very easy, and you really only need 3 ingredients! You couldadd vanilla or salt to the date filling. Or you could add raisins on top likethey did at the festival. But honestly I just love them the simple banana + date + cinnamon way.
The trickiest part of the whole process is slicing the bananas lengthwise. If you’ve never tried to do that, trust me it’s much harder than it sounds. They have a tendency to break and mush everywhere.
A few tips… – Use spotty but not overripe bananas. Bruises and mushy spots make it almost impossible. – Slice each banana into 3 strips. In the video I attempted 4, but since then I have found that 3 is much more doable and actually makes for a sturdier cinnamon roll. – Leave half of the peeling on and slice it in the peeling. It is easier to hold this way and gives the banana some support. – The straighter the banana the better. – If they do break, save thoseshorter strips. You can piece them together androll them up inside larger ones.
These Banana Cinnamon Rolls are naturally SO sweet from the combination of candy-likedates and concentratedbanana sugars. If you like those two fruits, you will love them.Better than any baked bread-style cinnamon roll will ever be if you ask me!
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.
The short answer is no.Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls are not vegan. To learn why, read the Ingredients section below. For suggestions of vegan brands of canned cinnamon rolls, skip to the Vegan canned cinnamon rolls section below.
version was coming I was nervous that they may change the recipe to include non-vegan ingredients. Fortunately this new and now organic version is vegan! These cinnamon rolls were soft and delicious. They taste wonderful.
Majority of the items on the menu are not vegan friendly as they contain cream and milk. However, they do have some drinks that are vegan friendly, like their hot coffee and lemonades.
Most vegans consider sugar a generally acceptable food, but strict vegans abstain from refined cane sugars that are likely to have been processed with animal products. They can, however, consume vegan-friendly raw cane sugar, certified-organic cane sugar, and sugar made exclusively from beets.
There are a few Grands biscuits that are vegan friendly (the southern style ones and sweet Hawaiian) and all of the crescent rolls from what I can tell (including the honey butter - no actual honey or butter it seems!).
1. They're vegan. As hard as this probably is to believe, crescent rolls don't contain any dairy. That's mostly because butter has a much shorter shelf life than hydrogenated palm oil.
Unfortunately for vegans, none of the sandwich bread at Chick-fil-A is vegan-friendly. The buns and brioche contain dairy and honey, and the flaxseed flour flatbread in the Grilled Cool Wrap contains l-cysteine. Stick to the salads and the fries, and you'll be in good (vegan) hands.
Papa John's has upped its range of vegan food. The UK-based pizza chain now sells dairy-free cinnamon scrolls. The Autumnal buns — which are made with fresh dough — are stuffed with a cinnamon filling and topped with a drizzle of icing. The sweet treats join other vegan food options offered by the pizza chain.
The rolls are still prone to over-proofing if left in the fridge too long; and the cinnamon-sugar filling can melt and make the bottoms of the rolls syrupy and damp if left unbaked for too long. Also note that some cinnamon roll recipes are made with chemical leaveners versus yeast.
When making cinnamon rolls, mix the dough just until the ingredients are incorporated and the dough is smooth and soft. Overmixed dough leads to tough cinnamon rolls. The dough is ready when it pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl and feels tacky but doesn't stick to your fingers.
Vegan butter is a non-dairy butter substitute made from plant-based ingredients. It is typically made from a blend of vegetable oils such as coconut, palm, or soybean and other natural ingredients such as nuts, seeds, and even algae.
Sugar – It makes the cinnamon roll dough lightly sweet. Sea salt – Essential for a flavorful dough. All-purpose flour – Spoon and level it to avoid packing too much into your measuring cup. Dark brown sugar and cinnamon – They create the delicious cinnamon sugar filling.
Immaculate Baking Cinnamon Rolls are naturally vegan treats that are ready to pop, bake, and ice. And they now come in more than one flavor – at least for part of the year.
