Indulge in a delicious dessert without the long wait with this 15-minute sticky date mug pudding recipe. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth, this quick and easy treat combines rich dates, buttery goodness, and a hint of vanilla into a delightful, single-serving pudding.
Instructions:
- Chop the dates into small pieces.
- Place the chopped dates into a small heatproof bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup of boiling water to the dates and let them soak for 5 minutes to soften.
- Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 1/4 cup of butter (about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your microwave).
- After the dates have soaked, blend them together with the melted butter until smooth. You can use a fork or a hand blender for this step.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 tsp baking soda, 1 cup self-raising flour, and 1/2 cup brown sugar.
- Mix well to ensure the baking soda is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the date and butter mixture.
- Add the 2 eggs and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Mix until all components are combined and there are no lumps.
- Divide the batter evenly among 4 microwave-safe mugs or ramekins.
- Make sure each mug or ramekin is only filled halfway to allow space for rising.
- Microwave each mug pudding separately on high for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Start with 1 minute and check if the pudding is firm to the touch. If not, microwave in additional 15-second intervals until done.
- Keep an eye on the microwave as cooking times can vary.
- Allow the puddings to cool slightly before serving.
- Optionally, top with a dollop of cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce to enhance the indulgence.
Tips:
- Chop the dates into small pieces to ensure they evenly distribute throughout the pudding.
