The fructose in banana is the liver’s favorite source of food. It provides quick fuel to the liver and wakes up sleepy cells, increasing their ingenuity and work output. Soothes the linings of the intestinal tract and also soothes the nerves attached to the intestinal tract. Contrary to popular belief, bananas are one of the most antibacterial, anti-yeast, anti-fungal foods. A great food to combine with other nutrient-rich foods or to take with supplements, because they improve the liver’s ability to absorb nutrients.

Banana Cinnamon Rolls 

Ingredients:

• 3-4 ripe bananas
• 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped, for topping (optional)

Date paste:

• 1 cup dates, pitted
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt (optional)
• 1/2 cup water

Date caramel:

• 1/2 cup date paste (recipe above)
• 1/3-1/2 cup water
• 2 tbsp cashew butter/almond butter/tahini (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 250F (or use a food dehydrator). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Slices bananas into 3 vertical pieces and arrange on baking sheet. Bake for 2 hours in the oven or 3-4 hours at 115F in the dehydrator, until you can roll them without breaking them.

Make the date paste filling by combining dates, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla, salt and water in a food processor or blender and blending until smooth. Add a bit more water if needed. Set aside 1/2 cup for the date caramel.

Once the bananas are cooked, let them cool for 15 minutes. Flip the banana slices over, then coat one side of the banana with the paste and roll up into a cinnamon roll. To make bigger rolls, roll an additional banana slice onto the roll. 

Place the cinnamon rolls back in the oven for 1.5 hours or in the dehydrator for 2-3 hours. 

Make the date caramel by whisking together the separated date caramel, water and nut butter (if using) until you get a smooth sauce. Drizzle on top of the cinnamon buns and sprinkle on chopped walnuts (optional). Best served immediately. 

Makes 9-12 servings.
