Why You'll Love the Date Me Bowl
- Caramelizing dates in butter is a game changer! Their natural sweetness is heightened, and they taste amazing when warm.
- An absolutely delish sweet snack or dessert that is ready in minutes.
Ingredients
- Greek Yogurt - you can use a plain Greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt. I use 0% Fage Greek yogurt.
- Medjool Dates - the best dates! They are large, soft, and sweet. Perfect for caramelizing.
- Butter - you'll use a little butter for cooking the dates. Can be swapped for olive oil as well.
- Olive Oil - this is optional, but you can drizzle the cooked dates and yogurt with a little extra virgin olive oil for some lovely savoriness.
- Cinnamon - use some ground cinnamon to sprinkle on the yogurt. I like Ceylon cinnamon.
- Flaky Sea Salt - also optional, but sprinkling some flaky sea salt (like Maldon) on top of the cooked dates and yogurt brings out the best flavors!
