Dates Powder Recipe
Follow these simple steps for flawlessly homemade date powder:
Prep the Dates
Rinse dates under cool water and pat dry. Slice dates lengthwise to expose the pit. Pull out pits and discard. Chop dates into smaller pieces for quicker drying.
Pro Tip: Save pits to roast as natural coffee substitute! Rinse, dry, roast at 300°F for 10-15 minutes until fragrant.
Dehydrate the Dates
Oven Method: Spread chopped dates evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 170°F, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 hours until hard and dried.
Dehydrator Method: Arrange dates on dehydrator trays in a single layer. Dehydrate at 135°F for 6-10 hours until hard and dried.
