How to Make Date Paste.

This post may contain affiliate links, read our disclosure policy.

Date Paste is the ultimate natural sweetener.  (In my opinion, of course!)  Date paste is simple to make and can be used to sweeten everything from cookies, to ice cream, to breads, cakes, brownies, smoothies… you name it!  (It’s the sweetening agent in my Pumpkin Butter!)  Heck, you can even just spread it on a piece of toast.  Because it’s so, so, so yummy.

Why would you want to use date paste instead of sugar, honey, or maple syrup?  Well it’s super sweet, but also chock full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.  Date paste is just plain better for your body.
