Author Notes
I love this recipe because it is fairly simple (as vegan cuisine always is) but really tasty! No eggs, no diary, no white sugar…. one of our best friends asked us if we were planning to serve them paper for dinner. Well, guess what, it is soft, and somewhat decadent, and he is crazy about it.
Another friend of mine is currently strictly vegetarian and doesn't eat any type of sugar unless it comes, guess what, from dried fruits. I choose dates because they incorporate very well in the dough and the result is really smooth. —abroad.kitchen
