Instructions
Prepare the Date Paste:

Prepare the Pudding:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the dairy-free yogurt, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and date paste until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Notes
- Dates: Medjool dates work best for their natural sweetness and softness. If using another variety, ensure they are soft and pitted.
- Peanut Butter: Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture, but smooth peanut butter can also be used if preferred.
- Coconut Milk: Full-fat coconut milk gives the best texture and richness for the toffee sauce.
