You'll love this simple family favourite. For extra creamy and extra nutty variation, stir through a tablespoon of macadamia nut butter to the caramel. A crowd pleaser.
Ingredients
- 1 cup medjool dates* pitted. *If using dried dates instead of medjool, soak dates in boiling water for 10 minutes to soften, then drain.

- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups almond meal
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar

- Spoon into a lined muffin try or loaf tin depending if you want individual puddings or one large.
