Dates are commonly used in energy bites, smoothies, cakes, cookies, and dessert bars. They are also added to oatmeal, yogurt bowls, and snack mixes. Their natural sweetness makes them useful for desserts and snacks that use less refined sugar.
Dates can be chopped and added to baked goods, blended into smoothies, or processed into a paste for desserts. Soaking dried dates in warm water for a few minutes softens them and makes them easier to blend into recipes.
Good substitutes for dates include raisins, prunes, dried figs, or mashed bananas depending on the recipe. These ingredients provide sweetness and moisture. The amount may need slight adjustment based on texture and flavor.
