HERE IS A VERY YUMMY PUDDING THAT ORIGINALLY DATED BACK TO THE VICTORIAN AGE OF BRITAIN..now very 21st Century and still all natural (nothing over processed and easily available) ingredients.
This makes 4-6 small molds ( ramekins)
1 1/2 cups pitted dates (chop with scissors)
1 cup apple juice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp Vanilla extract (optional)
1 cup ground blanched almonds
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch sea salt
Preheat oven 350F Middle shelf
Grease the ramekins/small pots well with neutral oil ( safflower/sunflower etc.)
Place the chopped dates, spices, apple juice in small saucepan and bring to boil, and simmer for 5 mins, stirring well.
Remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda and salt.
Allow the mixture to cool then add the ground almonds and whole wheat flour and baking powder, mix well and scrape down the bowl.
Divide equally in the molds, filling 3/4 full
Bake for 25 mins.
Remove from oven and cool slightly, un-mold with a knife onto warm plates and serve with a toffee sauce or Vegan Ice Cream.
Variations: add any fresh citrus zest or chopped nuts as you prefer.
This is wonderful, served with fresh banana and berries too.
