From Love and Lemons. Every Day by Jeanine Donofrio and Jack Mathew’s
I’ve only tried the Matcha Pistachio ones … EXCELLENT! But the others look like they’re definitely worth trying. Love the whole food, no added sugar approach!
For all of them, start with 10 soft Medjool dates and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. If the dates seem dry, cut into 1/2s or 1/4s (which you should do anyway) and let them soak in hot water while you prepare the other ingredients. Reserve the water so you can use a tablespoon of it if the batter needs to be moistened.
INGREDIENTS: For all of the following, 10 dates and 1/2 tsp sea salt, as above, then:
MATCHA PISTACHIO: savory and delicious
