Raw Cinnamon Rolls
Raw, Bone-Strengthening Midworkout Fuel
Number of Servings
Serves 12 (one roll each)
Ingredients
Dough
- [q:1/2] cup flaxseeds
- 1 cup almonds or pecans
- [q:1/4] cup raw agave nectar*
Filling
- 1 cup dried figs, stemmed and diced (about 10 figs)
- [q:1/4] cup water
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- [q:3/4] tsp ground cardamom
- [q:1/4] tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp raisins (optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Directions
Prepare the Dough
- In a coffee or spice grinder, grind the flaxseeds to a fine powder. Transfer to a food processor and blend with the almonds until a flour like consistency is formed.
- Add the agave and process into a workable dough, adding a touch of water, if needed.
- Remove the dough and place between 2 large sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin or your hands, flatten into a large square. Peel off the top layer of paper and set the dough aside.
Make the Filling
- In a clean food processor, puree the figs, water, cinnamon, cardamom and salt into a thick paste. Spread the mixture evenly over your dough and sprinkle with raisins and chopped nuts, if desired.
Make the Rolls
- Next, roll the dough into a tight cylinder, as if you were making sushi, using the parchment paper as the mat.
- Place your roll in the freezer to set for about half an hour, then remove and cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Store the rolls in a glass container in the freezer. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
