MINI DATE CAKES from alive magazine Date night, anyone? The beauty of these bite-sized treats is that you might already have all the ingredients in your pantry. Plus, these babies are vegan and gluten-free. ... What you'll need: FOR DATE FILLING 1 cup (250 mL) pitted Medjool dates 1/3 cup (80 mL) water 1/2 tsp (2 mL) finely grated orange zest Generous pinch of salt (optional) FOR COOKIE CRUMBLE 3/4 cup (180 mL) almond flour 3/4 cup (180 mL) oats 1 1/2 Tbsp (22 mL) coconut or raw sugar 1/2 tsp (2 mL) baking powder 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp (1 mL) sea salt 3 Tbsp (45 mL) coconut oil 3 Tbsp (45 mL) almond butter How to make them: In small saucepan, combine dates and water. Cover and bring to a boil. Remove lid and reduce heat to low. Mash dates with fork or potato masher. Continue to mash and stir until very thick and spreadable paste forms, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat, stir in orange zest and pinch of salt, if using. Set aside to cool. Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Lightly grease 12-cup silicone mini muffin pan. Place pan on sturdy baking sheet. In food processor, combine almond flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse until crumbly. Add coconut oil and almond butter. Pulse until mixture begins to hold together. Taking half the Cookie Crumble dough, press equal amounts into bottom of each muffin cup. Divide date paste equally among cups and smooth out. Divide remaining dough among cups, evenly covering date paste. Gently pat down. Place baking sheet with silicone muffin pan in centre of preheated oven. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove tray and place on rack to cool completely before removing date cakes. Save this post for later so you don't forget to make them! @scottyavis
