Delicious Mini Zesty Date Cakes
The beauty of this sweet little treat is that it’s a recipe you can make from a well-stocked pantry. And even better: you can easily substitute with other pantry ingredients. For example, no dates in your pantry? How about dried figs? Or use your own homemade jam or compote. Just make sure your fruit filling is very, very thick and pastelike before assembling.

Ingredients

Zesty 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)
Cookie crumble
  • 3/4 cup (180 mL) almond flour
  • 3/4 cup (180 mL) gluten-free oats
