Looking for a natural, healthy alternative to refined sugar in your baking? Dates powder—also known as dry dates powder, kharik powder, or date jaggery powder—is quickly becoming a must-have for health-conscious bakers. Packed with natural sweetness, fibre, and essential minerals, this versatile superfood ingredient not only enhances the flavour of your baked goods but also boosts their nutritional profile.
Whether you're baking cookies, cakes, muffins, or even energy bars, organic date powder is the sweetener upgrade you didn’t know you needed. In this blog, we’ll explore the top uses of dates powder in baking, how it compares to traditional sweeteners, and why choosing high-quality options like Daily Farmer’s Seedless Arabian Dates Powder makes all the difference.
What is Dates Powder?
Dates powder is made by drying and grinding seedless dates into a fine, naturally sweet powder. Unlike refined sugar, which is stripped of nutrients, dates powder retains fiber, potassium, magnesium, and iron—making it an ideal alternative for health-conscious eaters.
At Daily Farmer, our Seedless Arabian Dates Powder is made from 100% premium dates without any additives or preservatives. It’s also available to buy online here.
1. Dates Powder in Cookies & Biscuits
One of the easiest and tastiest uses of dry dates powder is in cookies and biscuits. Simply replace refined sugar with an equal amount of organic date powder to get a caramel-like sweetness with added nutrients.
Why it works: Dates have a low glycemic index, which means they release sugar slowly—great for managing energy levels.
Try This: Whole wheat date powder cookies with oats and nuts for a chewy, guilt-free treat.
2. Cakes & Muffins with Date Jaggery Powder
Baking soft, moist cakes and muffins without white sugar is now easier than ever. Use date jaggery powder to add natural sweetness, richness, and a subtle earthy flavor.
Pro tip: Blend dates powder with mashed banana or apple puree for enhanced moisture in eggless recipes.
Whether it’s a banana bread, chocolate muffin, or tea cake, dates powder balances flavour with nutrition.
3. Energy Bars & Protein Balls
Health bars and protein balls are trending for a reason—they're quick, easy, and loaded with nutrition. Using kharik powder instead of syrups or sugar provides the sweetness and binding quality needed for no-bake bars.
Perfect Combo: Dates powder + oats + nut butter + chia seeds = healthy on-the-go snack!
These bars are ideal for pre-workout energy or mid-day munching—without the sugar crash.
4. Brownies with a Healthy Twist
Who says brownies can’t be healthy? Substitute refined sugar with dry dates powder and combine with almond flour or whole wheat flour for a nutrient-rich dessert.
Bonus: Add date seed powder for a fibre boost and subtle coffee-like depth to the flavour.
Daily Farmer’s dates powder mixes evenly into batter and gives your brownies a rich, fudgy texture—minus the guilt.
5. Pancakes, Waffles & Breakfast Muffins
Start your day right with breakfast bakes made using organic date powder. From whole wheat pancakes to vegan breakfast muffins, dates powder gives a natural, caramelised sweetness.
Healthy Tip: Mix a teaspoon of date powder in your waffle batter along with cinnamon or cardamom for a delicious aroma and taste.
