Boil a pot of water and add dates. Turn off the water and let the dates soak for 10 minutes.
Make filling
Pit the dates, add them to a blender with other filling ingredients and set aside.
Make the dough
To a bowl, add the dough ingredients without the milk and stir into a batter. Add the milk a tablespoon at a time, and keep the dough dry so it is easy to mold into a pan - you don't want it sticky so hold back the milk until you've mixed the batter thoroughly.
Press the dough onto a large flat pan lined with parchment paper to a size of about 5-inchs by 9-inchs square.
Lay another sheet of parchment paper on top, and flatten or roll out the dough that is sandwiched between. Aim for about ½ an inch thickness.
Spread the cinnamon filling evenly on the dough, spreading it all the way to the edge.
Roll the dough from one end, peeling the parchment away from the dough as you go.
Freeze the roll for 15 minutes so it stays round when you slice it.
Slice into 12 rolls – each should be about 1-inch thick.
Enjoy as is or drizzle with a glaze of 1 teaspoon milk stirred into ½ cup of powdered sugar.
Storage
Keep no bake cinnamon rolls in a sealed container for 5 days in the refrigerator, and then freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes
To make these more exactly like Erewhons, use pistachio butter instead of almond, and use psyllium husk instead of flax seeds.
