Ingredients (makes 16 serves)
- 1 cup medjool dates, fresh (180g)
- 125g butter
- 1 cup plain wholemeal flour (120g)
- 2 free-range eggs (100g)

Method
- Preheat oven to 180C / gas mark 4 and lightly grease and line a slice tin.
- Puree dates in a blender or food processor until smooth, adding a bit of water if required.
- For the base, melt the butter and combine with 1 cup of plain flour and 1/2 cup of the date puree, stirring well to combine. Press mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 20 minutes.
- For the topping, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the remaining date puree. Fold in the self-raising flour, pecans and coconut. Mix well.
- Spread mixture over the warm base and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
- When cool, slice into 16 pieces, sprinkle with cinnamon and decorate with extra crushed pecans if you like.
