So today a special post for those with a sweet tooth ! These stuffed dates are really deliciously sweet and 1 will already satisfy your sweet cravings. Also, dates are packed with fibers and minerals and their glycemic index is not so bad :)
As for the vegan caramel, made only with cashew butter, maple syrup and dates, it is also nutritionally OK and sooooooooo good.
Fancy a bite, the simplest recipe for the best snack is just under !
INGREDIENTS for the Vegan Caramel
1/4 cup cashew butter (better home made:)
1/4 cup gula melaka syrup (or maple syrup)
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 soft pitted dates (no need to use medal but need soft medium sized dates)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch sea salt (according to taste, go for more for salted caramel :)
INSTRUCTIONS
Place all of the ingredients in your high speed blender and blend until you get a homogeneous paste
Transfer to your container and chill in the fridge.
Take it out a few min (more if you don't live in Singapore :) before using it.
Eat it in your yogurt, with roasted bananas, ... or to stuff medjol dates (just add some raw cacao nibs and a little sea salt flakes . MIAM :)
Nb: the caramel can keep for up to 1 month in the fridge. If you want to use it as a runny caramel, add 1 tbsp more maple syrup, and on the other hand you can get it harder by adding 2 more dates when you blend it.
