]]>Raw Dates
If you have raw dates and arenβt sure what to do with them, using them as they are is always an option. Theyβre often added to raw-style desserts to make them sweeter, but using them blended as an add-in in your smoothies and salad dressings is also an option.
(@passmethedimsum)Date Paste
Date paste is a pretty popular replacement for sugar, and you can easily make it on your own. Simply blend pitted dates with some water and use them when making desserts that call for sugar by replacing one cup of sugar with one cup of this natural sweetener.
Date Sugar
Making your own date paste is all fun and games, but itβs also possible to save yourself some time and buy date-based sweeteners at natural food stores. Date sugar is one of the most popular alternatives, but you should avoid using it in hot liquids and baked goods because it doesnβt dissolve quickly.

) is my latest obsession – a #healthy #sweetener that's a staple of many Middle Eastern countries known as #datenectar #datehoney or #datesyrup 
. It's made of nothing but #dates , it's #easy and #cheap to make (especially if you buy dates in bulk) , has a delicious, fruity taste, perfect in baking, sweet and savoury dishes and healthier than any other liquid sweetener (including agave or brown rice syrup) #whatveganseat #feedfeed @thefeedfeed.vegan #bestofvegan #veganfood #veganfoodshare #letseathealthy #letscookvegan #healthysugar #healthysugars #silan #homemadesilan #lovedatesIngredients
- Neutral oil
- 1 pound of dates
- 4 cups of water
Recipe
- Use the oil to grease some scissors or kitchen sheers so when you cut up the dates they won’t stick so much.
- Pit the dates and use the scissors or shears to cut them into small pieces. You can use a knife, but cutting them is easier.
- Pour the water in a medium pot and put in the dates as well. Simmer them together over medium heat for 30 minutes stirring a few times throughout.
- Turn off the heat and let it sit for 30 minutes.
- Pour everything into a blender and blend until really smooth, 1-2 minutes.
- Use a few layers of cheesecloth to line a fine-mesh sieve, pour the puree into it, and strain into a bowl.
- Taste the syrup, and if you’re happy, store right away. If you want it thicker or sweeter, return it to the stove for 20-30 minutes, cool, and then store for up to 3 weeks in the fridge!
. . . Rich in fiber, iron and calcium. Just sharing the recipe here as few of my friends @dine_with_danika and @foodie_singh_kour wanted me to share the recipe. Here you girls 
and All you need for this syrup are just dates and water. . . 1. Bring the water to a rolling boil and in the meanwhile chop the dates roughly and add them to the boiling water and switch off the stove. . 2. Let it sit uncovered for 2-3 hours as it helps softening the dates and extracting the juice out of it. . 3. Strain the dates with the help of muslin cloth and squeeze out the juice as much as you can by loosening it multiple times and squeeze again. . 4. Transfer the liquid to a thick bottomed pan and on low to medium heat bring to a rolling boil. This may take around 30-45 min. . 5. Now lower the flame and dip a spoon into the syrup and lift it, the dripping should be slow like honey,then itβs reached, switch off the stove & let it cool to room temp. . 6. Then transfer the syrup to airtight glass container(make sure thereβs no moisture) and store it up to 2 weeks in room temp and up to 3 months in refrigerator. . . #thefeedfeed #homemade #homemadedatesyrup #datessyrup #dates #sweetener #ramadan #mycurryveda #mycurryvedabyshravani #food #foodie #foodiesofinstagram #eeeeeats #foodphotography #foodstyling #foodfluffer #gloobyfood #wahhindia #yesindia #indianfood #indianfoodbloggers #fbci #livingfoodz #ndtvfoodThe post You Will Never Go Back After You’ve Made This 2 Ingredient Date Syrup appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.

Bananas are naturally really sweet and add a nice sweetness to a lot of different baked goods in place of sugar. You can mash it up and make it into pancake, sweeten up your oatmeal, cakes, and more!
Dates
Despite its high calorie content dates contain several vitamins and minerals as well as fiber and antioxidants!! Its sweet taste and nutritional profile also makes it a great healthy substitute for white sugar in many recipes. A rule of thumb is to replace sugar with date paste at a 1:1 ratio

They actually take on a caramel-like flavor, so it’s perfect to pulse them in a food processor and add them in place of caramel or brown sugar.

Soapy Soapy Although some people say honey is broken down in the same way white sugar is, the difference is that the taste is a lot richer, and it also has a ton of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, whereas white sugar doesn’t have any redeeming qualities besides sweetness.
