Why measure in grams?
If you ask any professional baker how they measure ingredients, chances are they’ll say: by weight, specifically in grams. That’s because weight is far more accurate than volume, especially for baking. Measuring by cups can vary depending on how someone packs or scoops, and not all recipes clarify those details.
One of the most common measuring mistakes? Brown sugar. It’s denser and stickier than white sugar thanks to the molasses. While 100 grams of white sugar is the same as 100 grams of packed brown sugar, people pack brown sugar very differently—so unless you’re using a food scale, your results can be way off.
A food scale is a super affordable kitchen tool that instantly makes your baking more precise and saves dishes. It’s one of the easiest upgrades you can make to start nailing recipes every time.

Kitchen Equipment
Stand mixer with paddle attachment OR medium sized bowl with rubber spatula
2 tbsp cookie scooper
Instructions:
Step 1
Add pitted dates, honey, and warm water to a blender. Let the pitted dates soften in the water for 5 minutes before blending up until a smooth caramel consistency forms.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together your date-caramel and vanilla extract.
Blend up old-fashioned oats until they turn into a powder. Add blended oats, protein powder, and espresso powder into the date mixture. Mix until you get a thick and dry dough.
