Ingredients (for 6 rolls)

  • 1 can of ready-made croissant dough
  • ½ tsp cinnamon + ½ tsp gingerbread spices
  • 90 grams of dates

Topping:

  • 50 grams of plant-based yogurt
  • 1 scoop of Orangefit Protein in vanilla or chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (as indicated on the croissant dough packaging) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Soak the pitted dates in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain and puree them. You can add a small splash of water if it helps with blending.
  3. Roll out the dough and press the perforated edges together, forming a large sheet.
  4. Use a brush to spread the date puree over the dough. Sprinkle the spices on top.
  5. Roll up the dough into a log.
  6. Cut about 6 slices from the log using a sharp knife and place them on the parchment paper.
  7. Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake the cinnamon rolls for approximately 10 to 12 minutes until they're done.
  8. Meanwhile, mix the yogurt with the Orangefit Protein to prepare the topping.
  9. Serve the cinnamon rolls while they're still warm – enjoy!
