BANANA CINNAMON ROLLS
There are a lot of fruits I miss from my week at the Woodstock Fruit Festival. The sweet juice-drippy mangoes. The perfectly petite strawberry papayas. The hot pink pitayas that I suspect will never show up in any grocery store around here (especially since spell check doesn’t even believe ‘pitaya’ is a word). But there is one fruity 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 finally sharing that recipe. Although I must say I will miss the delicious job of recipe testing these.
Fortunately dates, bananas, and cinnamon are neither exotic nor elusive ingredients. However, these bread-less buns are typically a raw recipe made in the dehydrator. But I don’t have a dehydrator, so I experimented with another 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 swirly rolls, I experimented until I found the highest possible temp that would still dry them out but not 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-napkins messy. You can pick up and eat these 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 could add vanilla or salt to the date filling. Or you could add raisins on top like they did at the festival. But honestly I just love them the simple banana + date + cinnamon way.

INGREDIENTS
- 4 spotty bananas
- Cinnamon
- DATE PASTE
- 1 cup Medjool dates (about 12)
- 1/2 cup water
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla and/or a pinch of salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- 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.
