Sticky Banana Date Pudding with Rum Caramel

medium bananas (, mashed with a fork)

coconut oil ((measured after melting))

blackstrap molasses

vanilla extract

mls / 1 cup plus 2 teaspoons unsweetened non-dairy milk

/ ½ cup g coconut sugar (, (any granulated sugar will work as a sub but it's a bit heavier so half a cup will be about 100g))

ground cinnamon

salt

/ 2 cups spelt flour ((I have not tested these puddings with any other flour))

baking powder

baking soda

medjool dates (, stoned and chopped finely, (dried dates can be subbed but soak them in hot water for 15 mins first))

/ ½ cup chopped walnuts ((optional))

/ 1 cup coconut sugar

rum ((I used Kraken Black Spiced Rum but any dark rum will be fine - 10 tablespoons is about 2 miniature bottles. If you want to make this pudding alcohol free then use water instead))

cashew butter ((almond butter would probably work too))

salt

to 8 tablespoons water

More walnuts for sprinkling ((optional))
