This homemade date paste recipe is a natural date sweetener which you can easily make at home in your blender. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber unlike any other sweetener!
I use this date paste in many of my healthy dessert recipes and sometimes even in bread, and try to have it in my fridge at all times. You may make it just with dates and water, but I like to add some lemon juice for extra taste.
