Date Sugar

This sugary-textured substance, consisting of ground, dried pitted dates, is about two-thirds as sweet as sugar. It contains iron, potassium, vitamin B6, magnesium and other minerals and vitamins. Use it as you would brown sugar on cereal and in baking. You may want to blend date sugar to a finer texture or dissolve it in liquid for some purposes. Store in a cool, dry cupboard.

You can use date sugar as a 1:1 replacement (albeit a bit of a spendy one) for brown sugar in many recipes. Keep in mind that it does not dissolve into liquids particularly well, so it may not be the best choice for your daybreak coffee.
