Ingredients

• 150 grams pitted dates
• 180 milliliters boiling water
• 60 grams vanilla protein powder
• 100 grams unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large egg
• 100 grams whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
• 60 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
• 100 grams Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
• 50 grams light brown sugar
• 30 grams unsalted butter
• 100 milliliters heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease six ramekins or a small baking dish.

Step 2

Add the pitted dates and boiling water to a heatproof bowl. Let the dates soak for 10 minutes to soften, then mash them into a paste with a fork or blend until smooth.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed dates, vanilla protein powder, unsweetened applesauce, and the egg until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.

Step 5

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, then mix in the unsweetened almond milk to loosen the batter slightly.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins or pour into a small baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the pudding is baking, make the toffee sauce: Combine the light brown sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Once baked, allow the puddings to cool for 5 minutes. Pour the warm toffee sauce over the top of the puddings.

Step 9

Serve immediately, optionally topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt for a creamy finish.
