Cinnamon Bums That Are Good For Your Buns
Ingredients: Buns
2 cups of gluten free oats
1/2 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
2 large RIPE bananas
8 Deglet Noor dates, pitted
2 Tablespoons aluminum and sodium free baking powder
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins or currants (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla powder (optional but good)
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place all ingredients, except for raisins in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Stir in raisins, if using. Fill a 12 cup silicone muffin pan and distribute the batter evenly. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before removing from the muffin pan.
Ingredients: Frosting
2 cups roasted Hannah yam flesh, cooled and peeled
1/4 cup date syrup* or date paste**
¼ cup unsweetened nondairy milk
1 teaspoon vanilla powder (optional but recommended)
Preparation:
Place all ingredients in a food processor fitted with the “S” blade and process until smooth and creamy. Generously frost the cooled muffins. This makes enough frosting for at least 2 batches of muffins.
Chef’s Note: Hannah yams are also called White Sweet Potatoes or Jersey Yams..I do not recommend the orange ones.
Due to the sticky nature of this batter it is essential that you only use a nonstick silicone muffin pan instead of cupcake liners or you will not be able to get the papers off to eat them.

I like the recipe videos. They are quicker to watch and I can get several of them in as opposed to 1 talk show. Thank you.

[@vickidennett2608]

Love everything you do! Don’t know how you find the time to do all you do for us and still have time for your personal life. Appreciate you immensely.

[@CHEFAJ]

It's not easy...lol!😊

[@MTknitter22]

A.J., I too like it all. You have hit on an entertaining, teaching packed, delicious format with plenty of variety, in my opinion. I do like weight loss Wednesdays!!

AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR YUMMY AWESOME RECIPES UNDERNEATH AND DIRECTION'S CHIEF AJ

[@kashobuddha]

I made this yesterday and all I can say is WOW! WOW! WOW! And I didn't even use the frosting. Hey, AJ, I couldn't find your "Date with Dessert" Ebook on Amazon!

[@CHEFAJ]

I'm glad you like the buns. You can only get the e-book on my website: chefaj.com

[@x1985]

Love the title 😂 These look delicious! Will definitely be trying the recipe ❤

[@CHEFAJ]

Hope you enjoy

[@susanlombardo8444]

Love it all! The recipe looks delicious. Chef, could you provide exactly which vanilla powder you are buying, a link if you would?????????? I cannot find any without additives. Thank you so much for all you do and share! Happy New Year!🎈 💥🥰

[@CHEFAJ]

The kind I use is on my Amazon favorites page: www.amazon.com/shop/chefaj

[@dovaillancourt]

I made the recipe. It is really good. One thing though, one scoop of the batter did not produce big buns like chef AJ’s, just saying. For the frosting, I did not have white sweet potatoes on hand so I made a frosting with white beans and it was very good and healthy.

[@Chickitychick]

This are amazing ❤

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you!

[@ElenaIoanfruity]

Can I just say that you are the loveliness impersonated?!! 🤩❤

[@geordieinca9834]

Happy New Year! If you cut the yams in half lengthwise they roast a lot faster, about 35-40 minutes.

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks

[@zemashaikh4856]

They look amazing 😍 I like these short recipes 🙏🏼

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

Wow these look great! You are very inspirational! I hope to bring healthy recipes to my channel. Ive been a fan of yours for a long time now. You’ve really helped me on my journey to become vegan and healthier. I’m not perfect but I make improvements. Thank you.

[@CHEFAJ]

Fantastic!

[@rhomboidman]

Chef AJ, you are amazing 💛

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you!

[@heiditagge5776]

Thanks for sharing this recipe. Can you do Costco haul foods?

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@BB-ux5wd]

I love you chef AJ . You feel like family 💕

[@CHEFAJ]

Aww thank you!!

[@BB-ux5wd]

@@CHEFAJ 🙏🏽

[@maryannatkinson3471]

Q&A live, but recipes are super.

[@kotababy411]

Chef AJ do you know where the talk you did with Shamiz from high carb health on ulcerativecolitis may be I would really love to hear it

[@CHEFAJ]

Right here 2021.gihealthsummit.com

[@zoehamilton9993]

I’m waiting for the paper edition!

[@mommaz820]

I made these, would rate them OK. They are basically an oat/banana muffin. If you want more of a cinnamon roll check out The Jaroudi Family, pumpkin cinnamon rolls. Much more like a traditional cinnamon bun. Just being honest, obviously some people really like these. I always have some of the hannah yam "icing" in my freezer, as it freezes quite well and defrosts pretty quick.

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks for your feedback.

[@macarlom5018]

In one of your past video you stated you don’t eat oatmeal because it is like eating cake, how about this muffins? They are mostly oats. How many calories does one hold? Getting into this starch solution eating lifestyle “studying” all your videos, like them all. You normality and approachability is awesome :)

[@Lisa-cp5xl]

Is there a way to please get a physical copy of your Date With Dessert book? I would love to buy a copy! Thank you and Happy Healthy New Year!

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you so much--I am working on a new updated version that will be released sometime this year. Stay posted!

[@Breathe618]

hi these look so good! Do you prefer blentec or vita mix blender?

[@CHEFAJ]

They're both fine but I prefer Vitamix

[@Brince09263]

I much prefer q&as

[@krawlb4walking802]

Cinnayum buns! Thanks !

[@charimilligan5326]

giggle

[@bridgetkavanagh3173]

is cinnamon ok for low blood pressure Hypotension love to try them please if you can help

[@jerryclingman1525]

I like to see you make the recipes and shorter videos

[@MissyBelleSYD]

Recipes!

[@StephenMarkTurner]

Hi AJ, I liked the title better with the typo :-)

[@MsFitVegan]

Yummmmmmm 😍😍😍😍😍

[@deniseberry6664]

I only have modul dates how many would I use for that?

[@raziyaswanart6621]

NIce!

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks!

[@jeffm459]

Hi Chef Aj, do these hold up well in the freezer? I’m making them as we speak ☺️

[@CHEFAJ]

Yes they do.

[@barbfieler74]

What can I use instead of dates? I throw them up, unfortunately. Plus I'm diabetic.

[@jillwilson3942]

Where do you buy your vanilla powder from

[@CHEFAJ]

You can find it on my Amazon favorites: www.amazon.com/shop/chefaj

[@Lisa-cp5xl]

By the way I was doin' the Homer Simpson drool thang watching this;) Gotta get that Local Spicery cinnamon too! I'm a fool for cinnamon buns! Now I can be a smart, happy, grateful, thriving fool

[@CastledarkDweller27]

Holy crap on a cracker Lisa!! i dont even know you but i am bawling my eyes out reading your comment. CONGRATULATIONS on your outstanding and amazing victory over your weight, your ill health, your sad feet, that evil creature you escaped from...WOW...just everything really! You are like a true life superhero! i hope you write a book chronicling all you have written here but in more detail. i love your picturesque and uplifting style of writing and i will be first in line at my bookstore to get a copy! Thankyou for all the inspiration. With love from an old hippy vegan lady living in the Aussie bush with her beloved tribe of rescues xox

[@charimilligan5326]

WOW WOW WOW!!!!! Blessings on your HEALTH RETURN Journey!!! \O/

[@CHEFAJ]

@LisaThank you for your heartfelt comment. You are a true inspiration and survivor! I'm so glad you're doing so well and I greatly appreciate your message and good wishes. All the very best to you and a very happy New Year!♥️🎉

[@ronlewis8395]

Hello I bought the bundle yesterday and did not see your desert book. Was there a limit on the number of downloads provided?

[@CHEFAJ]

It is in there--it is called A Date With Dessert. If you need help, please contact: [e-mail]

[@cindylowe6221]

I made these today. Are they supposed to be dense?

[@traceybaucom5755]

I bought the last bundle about 2 months ago! I don't think you had anything in that one.

[@1linnell]

I just made these. I love the texture, but my muffins have a slight bitter aftertaste. In the past I have noticed this from millet, so I sub oatflour when your recipes call for millet, but no millet flour here! Maybe the baking powder?

[@1linnell]

Just wanted to add, I "drifted" over the holidays, and a batch or two of your baked goods (ahem, CRAM muffins,) help me transition back to the real world. Thanks for making such an effort to come up with legal treats.

[@CHEFAJ]

I honestly don't know. I don't detect any bitterness when making them.

[@LeeAnnahsCreations]

I am allergic to all Sweet Potatoes, can I use regular White/Irish potatoes ???

[@CHEFAJ]

I've never tried that, but let me know if you do!

[@estiegross7625]

How and where do I purchase the bundle thanks
