Ingredients

▢ 2 Eggs
▢ 1 cup Nuts chopped (I used almonds, cashews and pistachios)
▢ 1/2 cup Dates chopped
▢ 1/2 cup Figs chopped
▢ 1/2 cup Honey
▢ ¾ cup Flour gluten-free, or whole wheat flour or even all purpose flour
▢ ½ tsp Baking powder
▢ ¼ tsp Salt

Instructions

▢
Soak figs and dates in warm water for an hour and set aside till they become soft.
▢
Deseed the dates and chop figs and dates into small bites.
▢
Also chop a mix of nuts, I have used almonds, cashews and pistachios and set aside.
▢
Lightly whisk eggs. You don't have to form stiff peaks.
▢
Add chopped nuts, figs, dates and honey and mix with the eggs.
▢
Stir in Gluten Free flour, you can even use Whole Wheat Flour, All purpose flour if you like.
▢
Also add Baking Powder and Salt and mix. Do not over mix just till everything is moist.
▢
Line a 9x9 baking tin with some parchment paper that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan. I have crushed the parchment paper and then opened and placed it, this trick will help it sit better. Also preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius.
▢
Pour the batter in the baking tin and smoothen the top with spatula.
▢
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes till the toothpick inserted comes out clean.
▢
Remove it from the tin along with parchment paper. When the cake cools down slice it into squares.
▢
Serve with your favourite Cup of Coffee or Tea.

Recipe Notes

If you are gluten tolerant you can always use whole wheat flour or All purpose flour or a partial mix of both.
