Ingredients:

1/3 cup hazelnuts
40g
1 cup dates
150g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1.50 cups water
380g
2 bananas
240g
1/3 cup vegetable oil
72g
1/4 cup self-raising flour
36g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Dates:
- Place the dates in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the baking soda over the dates.
- Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the dates and baking soda. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to soften the dates.
3. Toast the Hazelnuts:
- While the dates are soaking, toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- Once toasted, set them aside to cool slightly, then roughly chop.
4. Blend the Bananas and Oil:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the bananas and vegetable oil. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
5. Combine the Date Mixture:
- After the dates have softened, pour the date mixture into the blender with the bananas and oil. Blend until smooth.
6. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and chopped hazelnuts.
7. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet banana-date mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined.
8. Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Grease a baking dish (around 8x8 inches) with a bit of vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper.
9. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set in the middle and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
10. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the pudding to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, possibly with a scoop of ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel syrup if desired.

Tips:

- Soak the dates in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften them before using.

- Blend the dates and water together to create a smooth paste for an even texture.

- Use ripe bananas for a naturally sweeter taste.

- If you prefer, you can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.

- Serve the pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
