Dates recipes

I like dates but I’m fed up of them after a week of 6 a day 🙈 what are people doing to disguise them?

Not giving a recipe as sadly I don't have one but this is something I'd like to find out too. I can't cope very well with the texture of dates. J took one bite and spat it right out. The taste is fine. The texture makes me uncomfortable. My first idea was oat cookies but I haven't gotten round to trying to make any yet

Date and walnut cake! 😋

I have been getting a spoon of Nutella and dipping the dates in… it’s super delicious!

A bit time consuming but I filled mine with peanut butter and dipped them in melted chocolate then been keeping them in the fridge. Feels more like having chocolate/a sweet treat than oh no I have to eat more dates.

Snickers bar bite with a date can’t taste it 👌🏼

Agree with Nicola above, I love them! Smoothies, banana cake/muffins maybe? Also in savoury stuff like a cous cous salad or a tagine. Also if you haven’t tried them, I recommend the medjool ones. They’re more expensive but so much nicer!

If you don’t like dark chocolate, you can opt for white chocolate or a milk choc. Or you can mix the dates with a bit of banana to change the taste if you don’t like it, and if you don’t like peanut butter you can always put raspberries or strawberries mixed in honey on top of your bars then add choc

Cover them in melted chocolate and put them in the fridge. I enjoy them!

@Nora amazing!! They sound delicious thanks for sharing

My midwife told me larabars and I saw this oat bar date recipe on youtube https://youtu.be/P4tje0Dy19I?si=uGfdJVTGIokMqRn3

Do you have to soak them before eating if eating on their own out the pack or just for recipes? 🤔🙈 I've just got a flapjack recipe offline using dates and thought I'd give that a try! 😋😋 It says to soak them first that's why I ask 😂 x

My family has date palms in Morocco and no you don’t soak or wash, eat straight but open first as sometimes tiny bugs might find the sweetness and get to it :D

@Nora I'm officially scared 😂 but thanks for letting me know this! I will be with every one 😆 xx

@Megan I think that’s just for recipes! They are fine to eat withought being soaked❤️
