Date paste is an excellent natural sweetener made from dates, a sweet flowering fruit. Dates are also considered low-glycemic, so they won't cause your blood sugar to spike. Date paste can be used as a binder and sweetener in a wide variety of recipes such as protein bars, cookies, breads, dressings, and more!
Add 1/2 cup of dates (see note) in a food processor or powerful blender and blend until a ball of dough forms.
Take the ball of dough from the processor and break into 5-10 smaller balls of dough. Place the dough balls back in the processor and blend until a single ball of dough forms once again.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the dough is blended into more of a smooth paste. This shouldn't take more than a few minutes with a decent food processor.
