Even if we do not use any kind of sugars (refined sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, agave syrup, coco sugar, nectars…) we enjoy having and baking desserts so we normally use DATES. We also use these ingredients to sweet our favourite desserts:

Applesauce | Cinnamon or cacao | Ripe bananas | Dry figs | Dehydrated fruit | Pumpkin | Sweet Potato
