Steps:
- Mix the yoghurt and flour for the dough, it will come together into a ball with a bit of mixing
- Knead the dough for 5 mins on a floured board (I use standard flour for kneading rather than wholemeal)
- Roll the dough into a rough rectangle (similar to an A4 piece of paper, dough should be approx 0.5-1cm thick
- Place the rectangle so that the long edges are parallel with you
- Spread the peanut butter on the dough, leaving approx 2 inches along one edge (the long edge furthest away from you)
- In a blender purée the bananas, dates and cinnamon
- Spread the banana mixture over the peanut butter
- Now roll the dough so that you create a long pinwheel sausage filled with the banana filling.
- Slice the sausage into 1.5-2cm thick slices
- Place these into a baking paper lined dish. You want the pinwheels to be touching each other but for the dish to not be completely packed
- Bake at 180 degrees Celsius (360 Fahrenheit) for 15-20 minutes or until golden
- Leave to cool
- Serve, it is lovely to serve slightly warm

HEALTHIER WHOLE WHEAT, LOW SUGAR/FAT MONKEY BREAD
This is a lower fat, calorie, and sugar version of an old favorite. Enjoy! The nutrition label does not recognize the sugar-free caramel. Mine that I use is 90 cals/2T. When you add 3/4 c of that and divide it by 16, your serving moves up to 176 calories/serving. Not bad at all! :)
