@thebigleybasics: Sticky Date (Toffee) Pudding! This version is perfectly sweet, wonderfully gooey, and melts in your mouth. Even better, it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and refined sugar-free—but you’d never know it from the taste! Date Cake 3/4 cup boiling water 1 cup pitted dates, packed 1 tsp baking soda 2 cups oat flour (I make my own by blending gluten-free oats in a high-speed blender) 1/4 cup coconut sugar 2 tsp pumpkin spice 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 2 flax eggs (or regular eggs) 1/3 cup olive oil Caramel Sauce 1 cup canned full-fat coconut milk 2/3 cup coconut sugar 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1/2 tsp salt Instructions 1. Make the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk and coconut sugar. Stir well, then heat over medium until it reaches a gentle boil. Reduce to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla and salt, and set aside. 2. Soak the dates: Chop the dates into small pieces and place them in a heat-safe bowl. Pour the boiling water over the dates, mix in the baking soda, and let soak for 10–15 minutes. 3. Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, coconut sugar, pumpkin spice, baking powder, and salt. 4. Add the wet ingredients: Add the soaked dates along with all the soaking liquid to the dry mixture. Add the flax (or regular) eggs, olive oil, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and well combined. 5. Assemble: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) And grease a 7x11 glass baking dish. Pour in the batter and smooth the top. 6. Bake: Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly, then poke holes across the surface with a fork. 7. Top: Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the warm cake. If desired, drizzle a bit of extra coconut milk over the top for added richness and moisture (highly recommend!). 8. Serve: Slice, serve, and enjoy! Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. #stickydatepudding #glutenfreedessert #vegandesserts #refinedsugarfreetreats #healthydessert
