Preheat oven to 325F.
In a large bowl, combine all of the dough ingredients until well combined.
Drop the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4” thick. For the filling, drizzle over the maple syrup. Then sprinkle over the cinnamon, chopped dates, and pecans.
Using one end of the parchment paper, carefully roll the Dough up into a tight log & place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm.
When ready to bake, cut the log into slices. Grease your muffin tin and add a roll into each one.
