Waffles {date sugar}

Jul 19, 2023 (2 Comments)

Waffles {date sugar}

I've been experimenting with date sugar and accidentally came up with a great waffle recipe while I was testing date sugar with my waffle cone recipe. Fluffy without any added baking soda, baking powder, yogurt, or lemon juice.

Date sugar is a natural sweetener made from dried dates, made by grinding dried dates into a powder. Unlike processed sweeteners, date sugar retains the sweetness and nutrients found in the dates.

These waffles come out a bit darker and burn a bit easier than my waffle recipes using other sweeteners, so keep an eye on them. Start with a medium setting on your waffle maker to see how dark they are and then adjust from there. I use water to keep the fat content low, but feel free to swap out the water for dairy-free milk or cream.

I use almond flour here, but any nut or seed flour should work well. And if you're not a fan of date sugar or want to use another kind of granulated sugar such as coconut sugar, just use the same amount of date sugar.

In case you're in need of a waffle maker, I'm happy with my current waffle maker. I use about two tablespoons for each waffle. As you can see in the photo below, it only fills my waffle iron about halfway, but I like my waffles on the smaller side.

Fun fact about date sugar and coconut sugar: Both sweeteners have a lower glycemic index than white sugar, making them an alternative sweetener for anyone managing their blood sugar levels. What I love about date sugar is that it's high in some important minerals, like potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and iron.

    I'm very sad that now one must be a paid subscriber to access your recipes. It's the end of an era and a door closing.

      Thanks, Susan. I appreciate your thoughts. I offer many well-loved recipes for free. Copyright protection is challenging and becoming more so. I love writing and offering recipes, but I also need to protect my work and cover some of my costs. I'll hope you'll think about becoming a paid subscriber to support my work. Best wishes, Erica.
