Vegan Sticky Toffee Pudding - Vegan recipe hero image

Sticky toffee pudding has always had a special place in my heart.

I remember my grandmother making it for special occasions, and the smell would fill the house with warmth and love.

This vegan version is a nod to those memories, but with a healthy twist!

I’ve swapped out the traditional ingredients for whole-food, plant-based ones, and trust me, it’s just as satisfying.

My tip?

Soaking the dates really brings out their sweetness and makes the pudding incredibly moist.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Medjool dates are my go-to for their rich flavor and natural sweetness. If you can’t find them, you can use other soft dates, but the taste will vary a bit. I love using coconut sugar here because it adds a caramel-like flavor, but brown sugar works too!

Tips & Notes

  • I keep my dates in a glass jar in the pantry – they stay fresh for ages.
  • If you want an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of rum or bourbon in the toffee sauce.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I’ll add chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter for a lovely crunch.
  • You could swap out the almond almond milk for coconut almond milk for a richer flavor.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave, but I recommend the oven to keep it nice and warm!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this in advance?

Absolutely! Just store the pudding in the fridge and reheat it gently before serving. The toffee sauce can also be made ahead and warmed up.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, soak the chopped Medjool dates in boiling water for about 10 minutes. This step softens the dates and enhances their sweetness.

  3. 3

    Once soaked, blend the dates and their soaking water in a blender until smooth. Set aside.

  4. 4

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt.

  5. 5

    In another bowl, whisk together the almond almond milk, coconut sugar, melted vegan vegan butter, and vanilla extract.

  6. 6

    Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in the date mixture until smooth.

  7. 7

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

  8. 8

    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  9. 9

    While the pudding is baking, prepare the toffee sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, coconut coconut cream, and water. Heat gently until everything is mixed well and slightly thickened.

  10. 10

    Once the pudding is done, let it cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm, drizzled with the toffee sauce.
