With the colder weather creeping in thought it would be a good time to post a healthy, stodgy, satisfying dessert. The best bit is this one only contains 4 ingredients so it's super easy to make!
Based mostly around dates & sweet potato, this pudding is low in fat & packed with vitamins & fibre (& not to mention completely delicious!).
I’ve been having mine warm with protein ice cream after a roast dinner, but it also works amazingly well for breakfast with some vanilla yoghurt & Walden Farms sugar free caramel sauce.

Tip:
To avoid any “drying out” remove the cake from the oven whilst it is still slightly squidgy in middle (as it will continue to cook as it cools).
