Sticky Date Pudding – Microwave Mug

If you are looking for a quick dessert to keep you warm on a winters night but your freezer is bare then this is perfect.  My girls love the Chocolate Microwave Cake but Sticky Date is my all time favourite.  Enjoy 🙂

Sticky Date Pudding

• 10 dates (organic)
• 3 tablespoons of boiling water

Roughly chop the dates and divide between two coffee mugs and pour 1 1/2 tablespoons of boiling water in each mug.  Microwave dates for 30 seconds and then add a pinch of bi carb to each mug and allow to sit for at least 30 seconds (mixture will froth in the glass).  In a separate bowl combine the following ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons wholemeal self raising flour
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon walnuts (optional)

Mash dates in the mugs and then divide batter between glasses.  Combine the batter and the dates by running a knife around the edges and through the center of the glass.  Place in the microwave and cook for 1 1/2 minutes.  Enjoy with a scoop of home made vanilla ice cream.
