Makes 4Ingredients
- 150g dried pitted dates
- 250ml hot water
- 3 tbsp. maple syrup (plus extra to line the pudding moulds)
- 4-5 drops of FlavDrops (Vanilla)
- 3 large eggs (yolks and whites separated)
- 85g flour
- 2 scoops Impact Whey Protein (Vanilla)
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- Greek yoghurt
- Maple syrup or Sugar-Free Syrup
Method
- First, preheat your oven to 160°C.
- Add the dates and water to a pan and bring to a simmer. Break up the dates with the back of a wooden spoon and leave to simmer until the dates have completely broken down.
- Transfer the dates to a blender or food processor, add the maple syrup and vanilla FlavDrops, and blitz until smooth.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl and whisk the egg yolks into the date mixture.
- Then, sift the flour, whey protein and baking powder into your bowl and mix in.
- Now, whisk your egg whites either by hand or with an electric whisk (would recommend an electric whisk) until completely stiff. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Then fold the egg whites into your mixture.
- Line the bottom of each pudding mould with a little maple syrup, then fill with the mixture. Cover with tin foil and tightly seal before transferring to a baking dish.
- Fill the dish with hot water to the halfway point of the pudding moulds and then place in the oven to bake for around 45-60 minutes. Check a knife comes out clean when inserting into your puddings before removing from oven.
- Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of Greek yoghurt — then dig in!
