Ingredients

  • 1lb fresh, cleaned pitted medjool dates
  • 12 teaspoon corn starch

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  3. Lay the dates on the pan ensuring they do not overlap.
  4. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the dates are hard as a rock.
  5. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  6. Using a very, VERY powerful food processor or spice/coffee grinder (make sure it’s a grinder that’s only used for foods), add a handful of the dates to the grinder and process until a powder forms.
  7. Add in a pinch or two corn starch to each batch and process for a few seconds. This will help the sugar to not clump.
  8. Continue with the rest of the dates.
  9. Store the sugar in an air tight container.

Notes

In baking I substitute date sugar as such:
1 cup of brown sugar = 1/2 cup date sugar
1 cup white sugar – 3/4 cup date sugar
