Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup Dates pitted
  • ½ cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla
  • 2 Eggs large
  • ⅓ cup Flour
  • ¾ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Start heating your oven to 175 C /350 F /  Gas Mark 4.
  • Simmer the dates for 5 minutes in ¾ cup water (175 ml / 6 oz.)
  • Put dates and water into a food processor or blender (there won't be much water left.) Add 6 tablespoons of the maple syrup and the vanilla.
  • Transfer to a bowl. Mix in the egg yolks, and then the flour. Whisk or beat the egg whites stiff in another bowl, then fold into the date mixture.
  • Put 4 tablespoons of maple syrup in the bottom of a pudding dish. Pour the date mixture on top. Cover with tin foil. Put into a deep ovenproof dish and fill with water until, ideally, the water comes half-way up the pudding dish.
  • Bake for an hour. When cooked, a skewer or knife will come out of the centre clean.
  • Uncover, and run a knife around the edge to help it come out easily. Tip onto a plate, serve hot!
  • Provide yoghurt and maple syrup for people to drizzle over their portions, if you wish.

Notes

If you want to use self-raising flour instead, omit the baking powder and salt and use the self-raising flour instead.
For a topping, try low-fat Greek yoghurt and extra maple syrup. Or omit entirely and don't have a topping.
