I have a very similar recipe, but would love to add the dates for a new updated version! What I do instead of mixing all the 'sweeteners' in a saucepan is just blend them in a blender, that way they stay 'raw'... well besides the cooking part. LOL
Have a nice day!

Thank you so much for this - I make it with buckwheat and rice flour because I can't eat wheat (or sugar or dairy!), and it's been a lifesaver - it tastes sweet but doesn't leave you feeling rubbish!!
