DAMY Members – 4 of these coffee cakes is a great treat! You can also make these without sugar using stevia instead of agave to make them cleaner.
OMG I can’t wait to make these!!!
They are amazing 🙂 Enjoy!
Looks really good! Is it possible to substitute anything for dates?
Do you measure the dates before or after you soak them? or does it matter?
HOw long do you have to soak the dates for before using?
Also…to make these vegan, how much flax meal eggs should I subsitute?
Oh my goodness these lil babies were so delicious, I soaked my dates over night and yum is all I can say thanks for the great recipe Amy
Awesome!
I loved these, we enjoyed them very much Amy! One small sub, I used 3/4 cup dates instead of 1 cup. Youre amazing!
Great!
