What is the tasty looking drink next to it (in the picture)?
It is a pumpkin spice latte http://civilizedcavemancooking.com/sidessoupsdrinks/pumpkin-spice-latte-2/
Do you mean whole cloves or ground cloves? By the way I just made your banana cake and it was fantastic and so easy. It is now my go to paleo banana bread! Thank you
Your welcome and ground cloves
The coconut oil made ours a little bit greasy. I rolled them in unsweetened cocoa powder and they tasted like chocolate truffles. We tried another batch without the coconut oil and added cayenne powder instead of the cinnamon/nutmeg/clove and that was also a huge hit.
That sounds amazing, so glad you got them to work and people loved them :) I never realize the coconut oil being too much as I keep mine refrigerated and also depending on the size of the dates etc the moisture changes.
These are great but they aren’t holding together properly. Tips?
If they aren’t sticky enough add a few more dates or just refrigerate them longer
Yum! I’ve never added sea salt to mine, but I’m thinking that is a must do for my next batch.
Thanks for linking up today!
I am so excited to find this recipe. They have stopped making our favorite, which is Cinnamon Roll. This looks like it might work. Thanks so much!
Your so welcome. Hope you enjoy
Curious…what is the beverage in this picture??? Looks yummy! :o)
It is my pumpkin spice latte. It’s on my site too :)
My whole family Loves these. They are so fast and easy to make my 10 yr old has made them for him self :). Thank you!!!
You are most welcome, I love these as well :)
Have I told you recently how much you rock!
Nope but thank you so much Becky :)
Thanks for the reply! Looking forward to making more. :)
I just used the small container and blade and did they all together. They were medjool dates
Which paddle/blade did you use with the Ninja? What type of dates did you use? I had a hard time chopping the almonds up and the dates were sticky, but they still turned out amazing and I even put too much nutmeg in. Thanks, awesome recipe!!
You are most welcome, I hope you enjoy
Awesome! I'll try these this week, and re-post the link on my FB page and site… =) Thank you, as always!
