I grew up eating them and so love using them to make healthier sweet treats like these.

Ingredients:

For the date centre:

• 120g dates
• 60ml (4 tbsp) water
• Pinch of salt

For the crumble:

• 55g ground oats
• 45g rolled oats
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp cardamom
• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 2 tbsp almond butter

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan assisted)/ 350°F.
2. Add the dates and water to a pan and cook over low-medium heat mashing the dates with the back of a wooden spoon. You should end up with a smooth, thick, but spreadable date paste. Leave to cool.
3. Mix together all the crumble ingredients in a bowl, then press 1/2 the mixture into silicone cupcake/muffin moulds.
4. Spread the date mixture, then crumble the remaining oat mixture on top.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, then let cool completely.
6. They’re best served chilled. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days. Enjoy!

*You can use a loaf tin and slice them into squares, or double the recipe and use an 8” square tin.
