How to use large bag dried dates?

[zebralia]

Got loads of them! Going to make a pear and date cake with some of them, but recipe only uses 1 cups worth.

Anyone know any good recipes to use them up?

Sticky toffee pudding!

Without even opening a cookbook or googling a recipe I would probably pile them all into kilner jars and cover them in rum. Winter is coming ...

Sticky toffee pudding but make them in muffin cases so they can be frozen for later...

Flapjacks with dates.

Definitely sticky toffee pudding - it freezes well so you could make several.

Add to tagine.

Use some for snacking as is

Id put some in an all bran loaf.

Thank you! I've made two pear and date cakes and some date oaty bars for the kids. Still got looooads of dates left 😅

Going to look into sticky toffee pudding 😋

Banana, date and walnut loaf.

Energy Balls

Another vote for sticky toffee pudding.

Even the idea of an AllBran loaf with dates in it would keep me confined to the bathroom. That is a lot of fibre.

Chopped into tagine style casseroles/meals. DH sometimes does a sort of fried rice and also puts some finely chopped ones in that (not many).

Stuffed apples: core the apples and stuff with a mix of dates, cinnamon, butter, nuts and brown sugar. You get this gorgeous gooey centre.

Date and walnut loaf. My mum used to make an incredible one which was so many dates and walnuts the cake mix was just there to hold them together.

Salad: tomatoes, cucumber, roasted red peppers, chickpeas roasted in harissa / cumin or something, feta, chopped dates

Nigella's sticky toffee pudding is fab.

Date and banana porridge

That sounds fab! Do you have a recipe for that?

I make energy ball type things with dates, nuts and peanut butter

I made Nigella's sticky toffee pudding last night that it was the best one we've ever eaten!

Hadn't made it before

@Cakecrumbsinmybra Do you use protein powder? What are the measurements for each ingredient? Thanks!

@AnimalCrossingNewHorizons I follow the goodfood recipe and then put the mix into muffin cases in a tin and cook for 15+ minutes. If you defrost a lot for a dessert you can make the sauce, but even without the sauce (but with custard of course) it is rather fine

These banana and date shakes are lovely and very filling, can sub peanut butter for the tahini

Can't vouch for this but might be worth a try.
