Ingredients

  • Date: 150g ready-to-eat stoned date
  • Spread: 100g low-fat spread
  • Agave Syrup: 3 generous tbsp agave syrup

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line an 18cm square tin with baking parchment. Put the dates into a food processor and process until they are finely chopped and sticking together in clumps.
