I just found this recipe and tweeked it a bit and it turned out amazing so I thought I'd share.
The recipe calls for:
18 dates
3/4 cups milk
1/2 honey
1 cup buckwheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbl walnuts (optional)
First start by letting the dates soak in warm milk overnight, or you can do what I did and warmed the milk and dates on the stove until the dates became soft. If there are pits remove them. Then add the honey and stir the mixture until it's creamy. There may be bits of date still whole, but as long as you get most of it mixed it will work. In a seperate bowl sift the flour, baking soda and salt together (I say used a 1/2 tsp of salt because the original recipe didn't call for salt, but I prefer the taste with the salt, it's up to you.) Next, slowly mix the flour into the date and milk mixture one spoonful at a time. It should end up really sticky.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and cook for 35-40 min, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. I made mine into cupcakes which also turned out great. For cupcakes, bake for about 20 min. When it's done, let it cool before eating. It tastes amazing!!!
