Ingredients

• 200 grams Pitted Medjool dates
• 250 ml Hot water
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 100 grams Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 150 grams Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 200 ml Sugar-free caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade with sugar substitutes)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (or unsalted vegan butter for a dairy-free option)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking dish or 8 individual ramekins.

Step 2

Place the pitted Medjool dates in a bowl and pour the hot water over them. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften.

Step 3

Add the baking soda to the soaked dates and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend into a smooth paste.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Add the date paste to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix, until a smooth batter forms.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or divide it evenly among the ramekins.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

While the pudding bakes, heat the sugar-free caramel sauce and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through. Stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 11

Once the pudding is baked, allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm, drizzled with the sugar-free caramel sauce on top. Optional: Garnish with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for added texture.
