Instructions

Instructions for Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 250º degrees.
  • Mix bananas, chia seeds, pecans in the blender for about 3 minutes until smooth.
  • Spray the parchment paper with coconut spray to line the pan.
  • Pour the banana mix into a baking pan lined onto parchment paper pan.
  • Even it out with a spatula.
  • Bake for about 1 ½ hours but check to make sure not to over cook. It should peel off easily and have a slight golden brown color.
  • Test the edge of the pan before removing from the oven, if it’s firm in the center and peels it is done.
  • Once it has cooled, slice about and 1 inch apart the long length of the pan.
  • While the banana mix is baking, start mixing the center.

  • Rinse out the Vitamin, put cinnamon, dates, coconut water, coconut oil and pecans together.
  • Mix until it is a paste texture.
  • Take your spatula and spread the mix gently on to the banana strip
  • Roll from one end to the other and place on the pan.
  • Put all the buns together and return to the oven for 10 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds until warm.

Instructions for Topping

  • Mix the vegan cream cheese with maple syrup and spread on top of the Cinnamon Buns

Notes

  • The recipe will make 5 buns if strips are cut evenly.
  • I prefer to eat them the same day or the next.
  • I did not freeze my Cinnamon Buns.
