Instructions
Heat your oven to 350 F on the bake setting.
Cut the dates into very small pieces and sprinkle the baking soda on them, and mix well.
Prep your chia egg recipe.
Put about 5 Tbsp of water to soak the dates and soak them overnight (or a minimum of 4-5 hours).
With a fork, press on the dates to mash them.
Place the flour, baking powder, arrowroot flour into a bowl.
Add the coconut sugar, coconut oil, and chia egg. Mix with a wooden spoon until a batter forms.
Once the batter is ready, add the dates and walnuts and mix. Save one Tbsp of walnuts to sprinkle on top of the cake.
Grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper. Pour in the batter and bake in a preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Then pull the cake out of the oven briefly and sprinkle some more crushed walnuts on top.
Return to the oven and bake at 350 F for 36-38 minutes
Chia Egg Instructions
Add chia seeds to a small dish and top with water.
Stir and let rest for 5 minutes to thicken…it should be a gel-like consistency and thick.
