Ingredients
Sweet Buns with Dates
- Ingredients
- 4 ozs dried Date
- 9 ozs Pastry flour
- 1 ½ tsps Baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 5 ozs Sour cream
- 3 Tbsps Canola oil
Halve dates and remove pits. Put dates in a small bowl and pour in approximately 1/3 cup of boiling water. Let soak until the dates have absorbed all of the liquid, about 5 minutes. Coarsely chop with an immersion blender.
In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add the date puree, sour cream and oil and beat with the dough hook of a mixer to form an elastic dough.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form the dough into 10 balls and place them on the sheet. Bake on the middle rack of a preheated oven at 350°F/convection 325°F until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes and serve.

Healthy, because
This recipe can be prepared particularly quickly and does not require eggs or butter. Instead, it contains canola oil, and thus unsaturated fatty acids, more precisely omega-3 fatty acids, which among other things ensure good concentration.
Even smarter
The dates not only bring a sweet taste to this recipe but also is a good source of satiating fiber. If you do not like dates, you can replace them with 8 oz of freshly grated apples.
