Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Raw walnuts
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup Raisins
- 1 cup Raw cashews (soaked for 4 hours and drained)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Almond milk
- 2 teaspoons Raw honey or agave syrup
Instructions
Combine the raw almonds and walnuts in a food processor and process until they form a fine meal-like texture.
Add the pitted Medjool dates, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to the nut mixture. Process until the mixture becomes sticky and begins clumping together.
Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Flatten it into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin or the back of a spoon.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to create a cinnamon filling.
Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the rectangular dough using a spatula.
Sprinkle raisins evenly across the surface of the dough.
Using the parchment paper to assist, carefully roll the dough into a tight log shape. Place it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly.
While the log is chilling, prepare the cashew frosting by blending the soaked and drained raw cashews, lemon juice, almond milk, and raw honey or agave syrup in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Remove the roll from the fridge and carefully slice into 1-inch thick pieces using a sharp knife.
Top each cinnamon roll with a dollop of cashew frosting, and serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
