Made with just dates, flour, and walnuts, vegan date and walnut rolls are a delicious plant-based elegance. The walnuts offer a rich taste and crisp texture, while the dates naturally sweeten the dish. These rolls are a fantastic choice for vegans and those with dietary restrictions because they don't contain any animal products. You can have them for breakfast, as a dessert, or as a snack. They provide a tasty and wholesome substitute for conventional sweet rolls because they are high in fiber and good fats.

Directions
- To make vegan date and walnut rolls, start by removing the pits of dates and chopping up 1 cup of it.
- Put the dates in a food processor with 1/2 cup of walnuts and pulse until everything is finely chopped and mixed together.
- If it seems too dry, add a teaspoon of water or coconut oil to help it stick.
- Spread a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface, then transfer the mixture onto it.
- Shape it into a log and press gently to make sure it holds together.
- Chill the log in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Once chilled, slice it into bite-sized rolls.
- Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
