Re-hydrating the Dates

These were gobbled up in record time. Warning! Warning! Warning! They are VERY good AND healthy too!

Just remember, when eating more fruits – you need to cut your fat intake to 10 - 15% of your total calories so that the sugars that our bodies need to live off can get through your bloodstream and give you the energy nature provided.

Sliced Bananas on my
Nesco® Dehydrator

Remember to chill your bananas first if they're VERY ripe and a bit on the squishy side. Bananas are best eaten when they have speckly skins, about 40% covered with speckles at a guess. I used FOUR dehydrator trays (read more HERE as to why four trays are the minimum to use).

In the photo below, you'll see the bananas after they've been on the dehydrator a couple of hours. Next, we mash up the dates, and then add the raisins. Now it's time to put the mixture on the bananas and roll 'em up!

Actually the stuff is pretty sticky so it was easier to do than I imagined it would be.

Rolling up the Banana Cinnamon Rolls

Don't worry if your bananas split apart; the mixture and the banana at this stage is quite sticky and acts like glue. I actually used my fingers to put on the spread.

Now they go BACK on the dehydrator on the TOP tray of my Nesco with the three empty trays below it. Why? Nesco states that you should NOT use their dehydrator with less than four trays SO THAT THE AIR can circulate properly. As stated earlier, if you have an Excalibur dehydrator, this is not a problem as their trays are easily removed so there's plenty of "headroom."
