 90g coconut oil
 2 organic, free range eggs

In a large bowl, add sugar and coconut oil and mix together thoroughly with a whisk.

Add eggs and mix thoroughly again. Add the vanilla, tapioca flour, almond meal, ginger and cinnamon.

5

Pulse the dates and cacao melts in a food processor leaving them both still slightly chunky.

6

Add the date and cacao mix into the other ingredients and mix well together with spoon.

7

Use a little coconut oil to line a muffin tray or cake tin (or whatever you would like your dessert shape to be!) and spoon the mixture out.

Place the tray into the oven and cook for approximately 30 minutes (will need less time for the muffins), however keep checking by putting a skewer into the cake/muffin, if the skewer comes out clean, then it is cooked.

    We have made these a number of times now, sometimes adding in sultanas. Simple and they freeze well too.
