  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder (2g)
  • 1/2 cup of date sugar* (60g) 
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup of roughly chopped pecans
  • 3 anjou pears – peeled and cored

for the cardamom caramel:

  • 3/4 cup of hot water (70g)

  • 1/4 cup coconut butter (60g) 
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring (4g) 
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder (2g) 
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder (1g) 
  • 1 tablespoon of agave (optional for extra sweetness)
  • pinch of salt 

Instructions

  1. Add dry ingredients (oat flour, baking powder, date sugar, salt, cinnamon and cardamom powder to a mixing bowl and combine. 
  2. Peel and core the pears and chop into squares. Add to the dry ingredients along with the roughly chopped pecans. 
  3. Add almond milk to dry ingredients bowl and combine until everything is mixed. Spread mixture onto a baking dish (10×7) and bake in the oven at 375F for 40 minutes. 
  4. Make the sauce. Combine hot water, date sugar, vanilla flavoring, spices, coconut butter, agave and pinch of salt until smooth and creamy (use hot water to help dissolve the date sugar). After 20 minutes of baking the pudding, add this creamy sauce on top and bake for another 20 minutes.

  6. Enjoy with a serving of ice cream or with some coconut butter drizzled on top. 

Notes

  • date sugar is just dehydrated dates that have been blended down into a powdery form resembling sugar. I buy mine at whole foods, but you can buy it online here. I haven’t tried this recipe with a liquid sweetener such as agave (it might work as well but I can’t guarantee results). You can also use any other natural sugar such as brown cane sugar. 
  • I make my own oat flour by processing one cup of rolled oats in the food processor until I have a really fine flour. 
  • On day one the pudding will be soft and crumbly but after sitting in the fridge for a few hours or overnight, it will harden and is better served as squares/bars.
