Ingredients

  • 250 ml (1 cup) dates

  • 125 ml (½ cup) water

  • 2 large eggs

  • 250 ml (1 cup) unsweetened pumpkin purée (canned or homemade)

  • 80 ml (⅓ cup) cocoa powder

  • 80 ml (⅓ cup) almond flour

  • 60 ml (¼ cup) gluten-free flour (or all-purpose flour)

  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) psyllium husk

  • 10 ml (2 tsp) instant coffee

  • 10 ml (2 tsp) vanilla extract

  • 10 ml (2 tsp) apple cider vinegar

  • 5 ml (1 tsp) baking powder

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

  2. In a medium bowl, heat the dates and water in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds, then grind them in a food processor or with an immersion blender. Let it cool.

  3. In a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients. Add the cooled date puree to the mixture to prevent it from cooking the eggs.

  4. Place the mixture in a square baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, or until the center is still very moist. Let it cool and cut into 9 pieces.
