Preparation:
In a bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, ground oats and salt. Set aside.

In lukewarm milk, add 1 packet of dry instant yeast, mix it up and add to the flour mixture.

Stir with the spoon, then add the sweetener, applesauce and whisked egg.

Knead the dough using a stand mixer or with your hand, do not over work it (for about 5 minutes).

Transfer the dough into a bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour at room temperature.

While the dough is rising make the filling. Place the dates into a jar, cover with hot water and soak for 30 minutes. Add the cinnamon and blend into a smooth paste.

The dough should be double in size. Turn it out onto a floured or greased working surface, roll it out into a large rectangle.

Spread the filling over the dough and roll it out.

Layer the individual rolls into a greased baking pan and let it proof for another 45 minutes.

Brush with the milk and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350F (180C), or until it just starts to brown.

While warm drizzle with topping.

Enjoy!
