Do I need to soak the dates before making the cinnamon roll?

The recipe specifies pitted dates, but soaking them in warm water for 10-15 minutes can help them blend more easily into a smooth dough if they are very dry.

What if my cinnamon roll dough is too sticky to handle?

The recipe instructs spreading flour on a clean surface and placing the mixture on top to make the dough less sticky, allowing for easier shaping.

Can I use a different type of oats for the roll?

The recipe calls for old fashioned oats, or gluten-free oats, which provide the best texture for the no-bake dough. Instant oats may result in a different consistency.

Is it necessary to soak the cashews for the icing?

Yes, soaking the cashews is crucial for achieving a smooth, creamy icing consistency when blended, as specified in the recipe steps.

How should I store this single-serve cinnamon roll if I don't eat it immediately?

Since it's a no-bake item, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The icing may firm up when chilled.
