Date Slices

Date Slices

This recipe really stands the test of time and I have been making it since the late 1970's. It is oat based and has no added sugar in the date filling. Made with a plant based or dairy free fat then it is suitable for vegans. What the current rage of clean eating, vegan and sugar free cakes, breakfast bars and superfoods then I suggest that you just give this old fashioned recipe a try. Dried apples, apricots and prunes all work well in the filling. Just substitute for the dates.

This is a fat free recipe for those looking for a dairy free cake.

Earl Grey or Lapsang Souchong both work well. The cake keeps very well in a tin for a week.
