Scale
Ingredients
- 150g coconut oil or butter
- 80g soft pitted medjool dates
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather 150g of coconut oil or butter, 80g of soft pitted medjool dates, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and small pinches of cinnamon and salt to bring balance to the sweetness.
- Blend Ingredients: Place all the ingredients into a small food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring the dates are fully incorporated and the texture is spreadable.
- Chill the Butter: Transfer the blended date butter into a container and chill it in the refrigerator until firm. This will thicken the butter and enhance the flavors.
- Store and Use: Keep the date butter refrigerated and use as a spread on toast, pancakes, or as a sweetener in recipes. It will keep fresh for up to one week.
Notes
- Use soft medjool dates for the best natural sweetness and easy blending.
- You can substitute coconut oil with unsalted butter based on preference or dietary needs.
- The maple syrup adds extra sweetness but can be omitted if your dates are sweet enough.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- If the butter hardens too much in the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before spreading.
