  • More on dates : Dates are nuggets of nutrition that satisfy a sweet tooth, making them ideal snacks to stave off hunger. True, dates provide more calories than most fruits, but they make a great substitute for processed sweets, like candy, to help you stick to your weight-loss routine.

    California dates are sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, and a good source of fiber -- all of which are important factors in keeping the pounds off. Learn about this sweet fruit and how it can help slim your waistline and improve your overall health.
    Health Benefits

    Loaded with fiber -- both soluble and insoluble -- dates are able to fill you up and keep your bowel habits regular. They are an excellent source of potassium and provide numerous other important vitamins and minerals -- quite a powerhouse packed in a tiny, portable package.

    The other banana cookie led me to this recipe.
    Makes 30 for 56 calories each 2.4 g fat
    Ingredients

    3 ripe bananas
    2 cups rolled oats
    1 cup dates, pitted and chopped
    1/3 cup vegetable oil
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Directions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in oats, dates, oil, and vanilla. Mix well, and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
    Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly brown.

    Mind if I share with my recipe group? The Cook.
