7 Healthy Bakes with Dates instead of Sugar
Healthy Alternative to Sugar
Want healthier bakes? Ditch that refined white sugar and use dates instead. Dates are naturally sweet, but also contain tons of fibres which prevent spikes in blood sugars.
How to Use Dates
Opt for sweet and flavourful varieties like medjool or deglet noor dates. You can soak and blend them into a date paste, or simply chop them and add them to your bakes.
Baking Recipe Ideas
You can use dates in pretty much any type of bake for sweetness, moisture, and a caramel-like finish. Check out our 7 favourite baking recipes and give them a go!
