Here’s one of my favourite recipes for gluten-free, paleo, and keto-friendly date squares.

Ingredients:

For the Date Filling:

  • 2 cups pitted dates, chopped
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar substitute (such as erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Crust and Topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar substitute
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (or a dairy-free alternative like coconut oil for paleo)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped dates, water, 1/4 cup of sugar substitute, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over low to medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the dates soften, forming a thick, gooey filling. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, 1/4 cup of sugar substitute, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Add the melted butter (or dairy-free alternative) to the flour mixture and mix until a crumbly dough forms.
  5. Press about two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create the crust.
  6. Spread the date filling evenly over the crust.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining dough over the date filling to create the crumbly topping.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  9. Allow the date squares to cool in the baking dish before cutting them into squares or bars.
  10. Enjoy your gluten-free, paleo, and keto date squares with reduced sugar content!

These date squares are a healthy and satisfying treat that adheres to the guidelines of gluten-free, paleo, and keto diets.

The sugar substitute helps keep the sugar content low, making them a suitable option for those looking to reduce sugar intake while enjoying a sweet treat.
