Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix well all ingredients: chopped dates, butter, flour, beaten egg, chopped nuts, milk, brown sugar, baking soda, sugar, salt, and vanilla.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.
- Add sauce if desired.
- Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 35 to 45 minutes until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you don’t have chopped nuts on hand, walnuts or pecans work wonderfully as substitutes. To enhance the pudding's sweetness, consider adding a splash of maple syrup or honey. Remember to grease your baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking, and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center.
Serving Suggestions
This pudding pairs beautifully with Easy Whipped Icing or a side of fresh fruit for a balanced dessert. Consider serving it alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy treat. For a special touch, drizzle some caramel sauce over the top just before serving to elevate its flavors and presentation.

To make this pudding gluten-free, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that your baking soda is gluten-free as well, and enjoy the same delicious pudding without the gluten!
