Literally tastes like brownie batter. I also put a splash of coffee in it. Delish
Great idea the coffee...👍🏻
Almost as delish as you
Lol if this tastes anything like brownies you probably have dead taste buds
have you tried it?@@francoidk1380
Honestly, people love to lie to themselves
Ramadhan is coming in six weeks.. we use dried apricots and dates for breaking our dawn to dusk dry fasting, I'll try this recipe this year inshAllah..
Thanks for sharing!
@@HowToCookSmarter can I use cranberries instead of apricots
@@kathychinsamy2157 Yes, that would be just fine.
It’s Ramzan*
@@utubefreak7167 I'm Arab living in Arab country, so I round Dhad(ض) to dh. We never say (رمظان)= Ramazhan nor (رمزان)= Ramazan, it's (رمضان). Because that would mean totally different thing in Arabic. "Ramzan" moreover, translates into absolutely not the month we mean. Blessings, and peace to all.🤲🏻
I make that but make 1 inch balls and roll in coconut flour. They’re delicious! I love your healthy recipes! You’re a great chef!❤
That's such a great idea, rolling them into coconut flour would make them less sticky when stored at room temperature. Thanks for supporting!
Hmmmmmm... crunchy, nutty, *brick.*
@@30pranaypawar17 1 inch balls
Thank you for this idea!!
Yeah also I find if more filling in balls& I enjoy it more than in squares or cubes, thus more likely to eat it.. Maybe it's a mind over matter thing, but still my preference.
usually "healthy" alternatives are super expensive, time consuming, and don't actually look like they would be satisfying. This one however I'm actually really excited to try. Thanks!
@@pmbbmp I was talking about homemade but you're right
It's kind of like a Lara bar.
Healthy? Pure sugar and destroyed all the vitamins in the process. Delusional joke. You people are sugarians 🤣🥳💩
@@isabelsmith213 Cheers
The only thing healthy about fruit is the high amount of water. If you eat dried fruit you might as well be eating candy. "Naturally sweet"? Well of course, it's full of fructose, aka just plain pure sugar. And a ton of it.
A nearby bakery makes something very much like this. Kind of an amazing breakfast, lots of energy to regain all at once, and fills you up a lot more than the size would imply.
just be mindful, that dried fruits, especially dates and apricots are loaded with sugar, so if you are trying to avoid sugar, this is not the solution - but it tastes awesome :)
I agree. It’s just a candy bar with minor fruit benefits. The Body doesn’t know the difference between Fructose from a date or from High Fructose Corn Syrup. The date fructose is mediated a little by the date fiber, but overall, it’s still an addictive fructose snack. Fructose can be metabolized ONLY in the Liver, so it won’t be good for workouts, either before or after. I don’t consider it a healthy choice.
@@andrewstrakele6815 I guess that you just have to decide, do you want to die healthy or die happy?? 🤪
Fructose from fruit and HFCSmade in a laboratory are 2 totally different things. Your body DOES know the difference.
@@Hatchetman51 not true. Years ago I was drinking fruit juice, no added sugar, in order to take my multivitamin powder. I drank it ONCE a day and developed non-alcoholic fatty liver. Yet you're claiming my body can tell the difference between "lab created" HFCS and fructose found in fruit juice.
@@andrewstrakele6815 I mostly agree with your comments, but there aren't really any benefits from fruit that we can't get from animal foods. High carb plants ALWAYS come with high levels of deuterium, and that can not be avoided or reduced. Look up what deuterium does to the mitochondria of cells. Hint - nothing good.
Here we have something called “bocadillos de plátano” (plantain bites) that are made with dried/jammy plantain which are also naturally sweet and looks just like this. I made a huge batch a month ago and they’re SO GOOD.
Oh wow, that sounds delicious. I love plantains.
I'm jealous :(
Owww thx
Bananada or mariola in Brazil. Basically dehydrated bananas but the secret is that they're made with the pills on.
Stop calling your 💩 sugary treats "healthy". It doesn't make them healthier.
Thanks for keeping it simple & brief! Some folks drag their recipes out needlessly! Good job! 👍
I recommend ripping the dates in half before throwing them in. Sometimes the pitted dates still have a bit of pit in them and they will damage your teeth.
I think the vast amounts of sugar in this will damage your teeth more...
@@TehLiquid Yes.
Normally I hate these "health bars" but these look fantastic and are really healthy. Will try to make these so thanks.
I loooove finding videos of cooking without needing egg or dairy. Thank you!!!
And I need videos for eggs which are SO nutritious (so many more vitamins and nutrients than this), if you get the pasture raised, no corn or soy fed chickens. For me, this is an oxalate explosion and I make kidneys stones quickly which are heck on earth when you need surgical intervention :(
@@Jennifer-gr7hn there are associated health risks which I prefer eating foods without said risks. Eggs are high in LDL cholesterol, saturated fats and sodium. Three things I rather avoid in my diet in the interest of a healthy heart and blood 😊👍
@@arefrigerator396 you follow wrong information eggs are very healthy, does not affect your cholesterol, nor your blood pressure....everybody should eat eggs 3 times a week....
@@samanthas9875 I don't know what source of information you follow, but those I subscribe to have been well established long enough to not argue the risks that come from eating eggs. They have health benefits sure but like beef, there's health risks.
@@arefrigerator396there's very little evidence that eggs have health risks, infact they are healthy by best evidence. the evidence against red meat isn't strong either
No preservatives, dodgy ingredients, or additives at all, Brilliant!.
Made a batch to the exact instructions tonight. Easy to make and absolutely delicious; looking forward to trying variations with other nuts. Great recipe!
This looks soooo good!!! I might grind up a pinch of sea salt too.
Adding dates to my grocery list!
I like how he talks through the process suggesting other ingredients to add for flavor !!!
Yummy!! This is my next baking adventure. Thank you for this lovely recipe.
I really have enjoyed your recipes I just bought your ebook to show my support and appreciation to you! Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you so much for your kind support! So glad you find my recipes helpful.
This looks great. Plus its given me some ideas to perk up my standard granola recipe!
Thank you for sharing your healthier recipes! God bless you and your journey!
I remember balls made with figs and nuts at Christmas. One of my favorites. You can use a meat grinder as well as a food processor (though having it sanitary would be a must- we didn't use our unit for meat).
If you did use your unit for meat, you can clean it thoroughly and them disinfect it using bleach diluted in water, and them after that use white vinegar in everything to neutralize the base.
Finish it up with hot water and it should be proper to use for shelf stable products.
Finally got around to making my own today. They actually came out really great even though I left out the oats because I only have a small food processor and it was starting to overflow and over tax the small motor. They were a bit sticky. Regardless they were still great tasting. Thank you for the recipe, I will be making more of these. Oh and I ordered a much bigger and better food processor just a few hours ago so I won't be leaving out the oats next time and I'll be able to make a bigger batch. Thanks again for such a great money saving idea. This works perfectly with my workout and diet routine.
Sasha! Thank you for always coming through with the most delicious and easy recipes.
Can you give a baked alternative for this? Thank you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hi there! So glad you enjoy the recipes. Well, not sure about this exact recipe, but you can make an oatmeal bars and use this date mixture as filling (minus the coconut, or add just a little bit of it), here's the recipe for oatmeal barsth-cam.com/video/yqQ0aBGOQrs/w-d-xo.html
THANK YOU SASHA FOR YOUR FREE EBOOK ,IM VERY EXITED TO TRY THOSE BARS YOU JUST MADE
I like that recipe - PLUS the alternative ingredients list. Great stuff for high nutrition "candy"! Love it!!
GREAT alternative to granola. Love it, but it can be hard to chew.
Also, making THIS is so much easier. TFS!
So true! There's no baking involved, so easy to make, I enjoy granola more as my breakfast.
Put some half and half in the granola, cover and put in microwave. Keep stirring and checking until the granola becomes soft. This is a great help for those with bad teeth or no teeth.
Quick, easy, healthy and delicious . . . what's not to love? As ever, another great recipe! Thanks Sasha, have a great week! 👍 ❤
Yeah, I'm all about quick and easy recipes:) Super glad you like the idea! Thanks Hazel for all of your wonderful support! Have a lovely week too!
they're not healthy. 160grams of sugar isn't healthy, it doesn't matter if it's from fruit or from sugar cane, sugar is sugar. It's not healthy.
Define healthy, it has a shit ton of sugar, pretty much comparable to an actual candy bar. And doesn't look very filling for the amount of calories it has so you'll end up overeating
@@Netherlands031 the videomaker said at the start of the conclusion to treat it like a regular candy bar. So it doesnt seem that he is downplaying the calories this will add to your diet. Dates are incredibly high in sugar, and with the fat from the nuts I would say this is fairly close to making a bar that is as calorically dense as it can possibly be, within reason.
@@Netherlands031 You're weird. Look up the effects of soluble fiber on blood sugar and the role of insulin in metabolising sugars.
This looks delicious! I'm definitely going to try it. Thank you!
These look great. Can’t wait to try them. Thank you so much for sharing
Hi dear Sasha, AMAZING as usual. Thank you so much for always sharing the best recipes with us. Please take care and have a great day ❤️🌷
Thank you so much dear Zahra😊 Glad you like the idea of making a homemade candy this way. Have a lovely week! Take care!
I make a similar concoction, and I have a suggestion: instead of using hot water to soften the dry fruit, soften it with hot coffee. Coffee adds a curiously chocolatey note to prunes and dates, and it naturally sweetens your coffee! Give it a try and see if you agree that it boosts the chocolate flavor.
Thank you for sharing! This looks delish!!😀😋
Thank you.
I hear your heart.
WE give THANKS.
ONE LOVE.
Looks so yummy. I just thought to also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger (love this trio) + cacao nibs (don't break down). I would make oat bars like this too. (using also coconut oil and peanut/almond butter to keep it together)
Great idea
The omega ratio is best with walnuts. Much better for your heart. Since this is for healthy eating.
Thank you for sharing this!
Great and so simple! Many thanks, fella!
There's a healthy bar that uses dates as it's base and all they're bars are delicious. The mint chocolate, strawberry, blueberry muffin were all amazing. Gonna try this.
Both have tons of sugar
@@BigJonkulous obviously with dry fruits
@@___Somebody___ Wet fruits, dry fruits - it's just nature's candy.
those bars arent healthy... the marketing is
Delicious and healty! 😋 Thanks, Sasha! 😘🤗♥️
My pleasure 😊 Hope you're doing great. Sending back love!
These look delicious, I am going to the store tomorrow and get the ingredients. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
Brilliant. Will try this.
Anything that contains dates just tastes like dates.
Add peanut butter and cover in chocolate and you get a snickers bar. No date taste.
Good
@@pulmonaut7496nah this is insane
Luckily, it's my favorite fruit.
Need better dates
Very nice recipe chef 👍👏👌. Excellent afternoon snack 😋 until supper time. Thank you for your effort 🌞😎
My pleasure 😊
This looks good gonna try making this week
Looks delicious!
Nice.
BTW: I recycle brown bananas by mixing them with oatmeal, almonds, cocoa and spices (and bake it). I guess that's even lower in sugar, but keeps hunger at bay for a while.
What's the exact quantity of ingredients, please?
@@charmainedsouza9527 That's tough to say, especially concerning step 2).
1) extract and mush 3 medium or 2 large bananas and sprinkle them with a bit of citric acid (any acid will do)
2) Add an equal volume of crushed (or better ground) oatmeal and knead it through. Add more until you get a dough-like consistency. It should still be soft and a bit sticky, but should no longer feel wet.
3) Add 8 tablespoons of ground almonds and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder (real cocoa and not this insanely weak cocoa diluted in sugar)
4) add max. a teaspoon of cinnamon (I'd prefer freshly ground ceylon) and an equal amount of Anis. Add half a teaspoon of freshly ground cardamon (green ones) and 2-4 freshly ground cloves.
5) I had the dough rolled out and the rest dropped on top. I then folded it up and rolled it out again and folded and rolled and folded and rolled. That was more efficient for me than to knead it. If you have an electric mixer, this will be faster... (yep, I'm one of the weirdos who doesn't have that but has a mortar and pestle for the spices)
6) cut it up into equal portions and form balls. 5cm/2inches diameter will take around 15min and 3cm around 10min at 180°C.
Notes: it soaks up moisture easily, but can be stored if dry. Adding resins will make it much worse and attract flies.
@@edi9892 Adding resins?
Very dark chocolate is actually very healthy. You can use it in treats or coat the outside of healthy bars or coconut balls in it.
No man, chocolate is not healthy. There is a lot of sugar in it.
@@c50m4 It all depends on which chocolate you get. Say if you get 90% pure cacao with very little cocoa butter as well as high flavonoid content. With barely enough sugar to keep from you spitting it out in disgust, then it's EXTREMELY healthy and good for you & your heart. Now candy bar crap is anything but healthy! Also, there's this island that drinks pure cocoa without a lot of sugar and heart trouble/blood pressure issues don't even exist there!
it's high in oxalic acid though so don't eat too much
@@craggerrs That is true but usually that's only an issue with people who have kidney troubles. Starfruit is also high in this but healthy and delicious
@@lordkrishnastolemyheart5485 oxalic acid can give you kidney troubles
Thanks for this recipe!
Sounds good! Thanks for making this video.
Dried fruits are basically only sugar so not that different to regular sugar, only that you need more for the same level of sweetness...
I would definitely eat this, looks delish, but it is no substitute for my fave candy bars. I would eat these more regularly if course, they are healthier after all, but a snickers or a chunky bar is a nice treat once in a while.
Thank you for this!
I feel like these would be amazing for hikes, thanks for this recipe.
Can you make an educational video on benefits of oats vs wheat flour?
Better read articles from people who actually understand the subject.
What he said... but in the meantime look up the nutrition facts for each and compare them. Basically try to avoid high saturated fat, salt & sugar and look out for higher levels of non-saturated fats (watch calories), protein & fibre.
Yeah, making a more educational videos would be a next level of this channel, hope to be able to do that soon. But as it's already suggested, start with the nutrition facts and GI index.
@@HowToCookSmarter Comparing macros is easy. But when it comes to GI, gluten, etc. there is hardly any consensus. Hope you will still do a video on it :)
Thank you, however it seems that most dried fruits are double, and sometimes even triple, the sugar content of fresh fruit. This excess fructose gets quickly converted by the liver into a form of cholesterol that's high in triglycerides, which leads to fat storage. It's also the type of sugar that creates insulin resistance, heart disease, obesity, and more. Dried fruit is on the other hand a good source of fiber and a great source of antioxidants, rich in vitamins and minerals. Experts recommend pairing dried fruit with protein or a source of healthy fat to prevent blood sugar spikes and always keeping portion size in check.
Fiber also slows down and lowers the absorbtion of sugar.
As a type 2 diabetic, I appreciate your information. I will have to think more about this, and LisaBjerg's comment. Thank you.
Isn't that what he did by adding the nuts?
Hi! Thanks for sharing the facts about the dried fruits, yeah we should definitely eat these in smaller portion, and also we should pick the right kind of dried fruit, because some of them even have an added sugar, like dried cranberries here in our markets. So, I guess adding more nuts and seeds would improve these bars.
Looks good!
Beautiful recipe. Thanks so much. Can't wait to make them ❤🙏❤
My pleasure 😊 Hope you'll enjoy this candy replacement!
Great recipe. At same time we had nut allergies in house so coconut and cashews would have to be replaced. A replacement for coconut is hard. What would you use?
you could try it with rice cake (riceup) or rice crispy
I didn't know coconuts were part of the nut allergies. Thank for mentioning it. I always like to be cautious when eating nuts around people...I don't have an allergy, but always courtesy to those who are (I ask people around me if they are before eating them).
Well, adding more oats would be the first thing I would definitely go for (but not actually grind them in a food processor), but also adding some kind of wholesome cookies would be fine too.
@@HowToCookSmarter is uncooked oats healthy
From South Africa 🇿🇦
@@kathychinsamy2157 This is homemade oat flour, made from rolled oats that already has been steamed before rolling, so it would be just fine to use it raw.
Definitely healthier than a candy bar, but it’s still full of sugar. Natural occurring sugar and added/processed sugar means the same to your body. Sugar is sugar so when making this, people should take that into consideration.
No
@@DEATHMAKER1900 Yes, he's right. There's a reason a banana sets off a diabetic's blood sugar exactly like a candy bar. Don't be ignorant.
@@davidfence6939 White bread spikes blood sugar more than a banana, yet has little sugar. Milk has plenty of sugar yet has a lower GI than white rice. How does that work?
He pretty much said that. Like he said, it's NOT low calorie and eat it like a candy bar.
Brilliantly simple idea, especially for backpacking and cycle camping, where high calorie foods are needed for energy. I'm going to have a go at making this. Thanks!
Humans can't access calories from food, as calories are just a measure of heat. And humans are not bomb calorimeters that use fire to burn food. We use stomach acid and enzymes to break food down into carbohydrates, proteins and fats, minerals and vitamins.
@@w1975b ..and then we utilize those macros for various bodily needs and functions; one of which is an energy requirement that can be fulfilled from carbohydrates.
Yes, the bodies preferred fuel is fat; but most folk are "sugar burners" because of our over consumption of carbohydrates..but carbs are still required; especially by the brain.
And a lack of carbohydrates, some of which are stored as glycogen, can be detrimental to the metabolism and thyroid function; especially when exercising is thrown into the mix alongside a calorific deficit or depletion..hence, a good idea for activities like backpacking and cycle camping!
Are you always this pedantic? I was merely sending a positive message, praising the the person who took the time to make this post; which I genuinely liked!
You sound like you have some useful knowledge; which I'm sure folk would be very interested and glad to hear. But perhaps you need to work on your interactions (I know I do)? Take care 😊
Looks delicious can't wait to make this.
I just tried it today and absolutely loved it!
But for some reason the mixture I had was incredibly thick, sticky and gooey even without adding oats. It was very difficult to handle, and even harder to cleanup.
Any tips on how to make it less sticky? I am just starting out trying to cook and bake so all of this is still quite new to me. Pardon if my question is something basic hahaha
im just guessing! but the stickiness may be due to the exposure of the dates and apricots to hot water, maybe steep them there for lower and lower times to control the water content and see whether that helps?
I would think adding oats would help the stickiness, since they are dry and help break up the moisture/ compactness of the fruits. Adding more dry ingredients like nuts would also help, I bet.
@@Algormortis9 Alright thank you very much! I will try that out (:
When I first saw the thumbnail I thought you were a blacksmith, idc if it’s good I ain’t eating those rusty ingots
Love videos like this. Informative and straight to the point. Subscribed.
My son and I are trying to eat a bit healthier, and boom you pop up on my feed, with an awesome recipe for something he and I both love, just never looked into how to make them.
We are going to the shop after he gets out of school today to get the ingredients and make some, looking forward to trying out your other recipes too, thank you for your to the point and concise videos ❤
"Healthy", packed with TONS of delicious fructose/sugars/carbohydrates
As long as it contains chocolate, nogut, or Carmel I'm in! Candy is candy, it's a treat, not a staple of your diet, splurge a little
Agreed. Sugar is sugar, wether its refined cane juice or dried fruit, its all refined fructose = sugar. Those Dates (130g) = approx 86.45g sugar, those Apricots (80g) = approx 42.72g sugar, those Prunes (80g) = approx 30.48g sugar. Cashews (70g) = approx 4.13g sugar. so 86.45 + 42.72 + 30.48 + 4.13 = 163.78g divide by 12 (portion size quoted) thats approx 13.64g sygar per bar. *Fructose is STILL SUGAR* then add in the carb content that would be converted into sugar in the body. May as well just have a treat size candy bar.
It irks me when people spout that theyre "healthy" coz theyve had a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice - essentially consuming 5-8 oranges in one go which contains more sugar than a fun size milk chocolate bar.
@@angeltt4390 exactly, it's not as healthy as he says. Those bars are as bad a candy bar for a type 2 diabetic. Carbs are sugar and if the energy isn't burned they're fat. Fruits aren't meant to be readily available. They're meant to be seasonal.
Thank you for including cups, tsp/tbsp/etc as well as grams, etc.
That looks and sounds great!
I suppose it has better vitamins and minerals than a candy bar, but ultimately this is still pretty much sugar with a side of sugar.
If there’s anything I learn from cutting processed food and sugar is, never lie to yourself. Never find a alternative or a “cheat code “ ever. You will back to craving even more worse than before
I'm going to have to try these, but with carob instead of cocoa powder. Thank you for the recipe. You have a lovely voice 😁
Nice.. going to try these this week. Thanks for the great recipe.
If you put the knife into the freezer for 15 minutes , it makes cutting much easier. This is still high in sugar (fructose), and calling it “natural” doesn’t alter the fact that it will cause an insulin spike and affect your liver.
This looks amazing, however, there's still too much sugar/carbs in this. Since fruit sugar is the same as cane sugar (white sugar we use) might as well eat a ice pop or hard candy and save time making this 🤣.
That's not a good comparison because dried fruits have vitamins, minerals and fibre
Yeah, that's the reason I said we should treat this as any other candy, but definitely comes with more nutrition and less cost.
@@rumjhumgupta7137 not sure what ice pop and candies you eat, but a lot of them has vitamins as well; they are fortified.
Dried fruit has no vitamins and mineral since the drying process killed almost all of them. Only benefit is the fiber. And even most of that has died off from the drying process.
Please educate yourself before making a comment!!
@@HowToCookSmarter agreed...it should be treated like a candy bar (at this point it's just sugar from all the processing). Except it's a natual candy bar without weird ingredients and preservatives 😁. I'll still choose it over a Snickers bar.
Looks so delicious! Be careful as 1 date = 27 gr sugar.
27 gr= approx. 1ounce. A date is not 100% sugar and its an uncommon date sans pit that weighs in excess of one oz.
In other words, I can't take your claim seriously.
thank you! 'm going to try this one
My high ass thought for a second this man was eating rusted iron bars as a healthy snack
Absolutely packed with sugar.
Fructose is just as unhealthy as refined sugar.
I clearly heard him say “it’s not low calorie, so treat it like any other candy”
You didn’t?
The whole point was to satisfy your sweet tooth in a more *nutritious* way. So, eating this instead when you want a candy bar will yield more vitamins, minerals, and fiber. And if you're careful, you can minimize the amount of preservatives as well.
Good stuff man
I love this......what a great idea! I'll be making some this weekend and did not know about coconut but I am going to toast it first.
lot of sugar in those dry fruits.
Yeah, you should definitely take it easy on these.
Probably more sugar in those than a candy bar! 😂
This is excellent. I love it. Thanks!
This looks delicious, I can't wait to try it.
Yeah that's full of sugar anyway
We need raw sugar for energy. That sounds good, tasty and healthy.
I make something very similar with added honey and freeze it, for a healthy hot summer day snack.
@@herbbowler2461 We don't need sugar for energy. We evolved to burn fat for energy.
@@AshGreen359
Yes we burn fat.
Still not 1 cell in your body except fat cells can live without glucose. Not 1 muscle or organ can live without glucose.
Approximately 80% of our brains fuel must be glucose.
Many people can't function mentally or physically without carbs because there bodies have lost the ability to convert protein into glucose. A lack of glucose in the blood will cause coma. Cut back more. Serious, permanent brain damage or death.
That's just glucose calories for energy.
Glucose has a long list of other bodily functions that only glucose can fulfill.
So to say we don't need is like saying we don't need air to breath.
@@herbbowler2461 True, your body converts fat. We wouldn't have survived the ice age otherwise
@@AshGreen359
IThe body converts glucose to fat. But can only convert protein to glucose. Most can't convert enough to sustain themselves.
Looks really tasty & simple to make. This was a quick & simple presentation. Well done & thank you.
great snack! I like that there's no added sugar, no salt, and very high fiber. 🤤
Sugar is sugar, natural but not healthy.
Yeah, still I think it's the alternative to ultra processed, pre digested ingredients from factories. Also in adequate amounts it is healthy as we need it to function, we made it unhealthy by over consuming it.
Actually, sugar is not necessary. @@andrewpepperoni197
Pre digested? what are you buy and from where?@@andrewpepperoni197
Why did you compare these to Candy bars?? 😂😂😂 they’re nothing like this at all. It’s like saying “instead of wearing shoes I jump out of airplanes”
Ha ha 😂. Yep. Click bait bull'shark' as usual 🤭
It's a healthy alternative snack, there isn't a healthy version of a sugar bar bro.
He didn’t say these are candy bars; he said, “This is what I eat INSTEAD of candy bars.”
@@JBM425he’s making something that is similar to candy bars but “healthier”. That’s the whole idea of the video. Idk what your point is
