Sometimes we can use natural sugar sources to sweeten our food. I’d rather use a sugar source that has other benefits. Dates are a great laxative food so if you have been constipated, you may want to include some dates in your diet. They are also a great source of iron especially for anaemic patients or women in general as Iron deficiency seems to be a problem for women. If you are low on energy, these amazing bites would fuel your energy up really quickly. I substituted the sugar in my regular pancake recipe for dates and it was just as delicious and I certainly was not tired today. Hope you enjoy my date pancakes.
