Date paste is a fantastic alternative to brown sugar in many baking contexts. The sugar they bring to the table comes with the nutrients in dates, making them a more nutritious option than pure sugar.
Tip: 12 dates will yield roughly 1 cup of paste. Freeze leftovers in ¼ cup increments for future use.
Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates, pitted
- Warm water
Directions
- Cover dates with warm water. Let soak for 1 hour.
- Drain the water, reserving the liquid. Puree dates in a blender or food processor, using reserved soaking liquid to thin if needed.
