Method

  1. Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 170°C, gas mark 5, 375°F). Grease and line a shallow 20cm square tin with baking paper.

  2. Step 2:

    Put the chopped dates in a bowl with the warm apple juice and allow to soak for 5 minutes. Pop the date mixture and Truvia for Baking Brown into a food processor and whizz until smooth.

  3. Step 3:

    Next melt the butter in a medium sized saucepan pan over a low heat. Add the date purée and all the remaining ingredients. Stir well, then press gently into the tin with damp hands.

  4. Step 4:

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Cut into mini squares in the tin then cool completely before turning out.

    For variety add different nuts such as toasted almonds or brazil nuts
