  • In a bowl, combine the date puree, applesauce, lemon juice and egg together.

  • Add the vanilla extract, baking soda, baking powder, zest of lemon and the pinch of salt into the mixture. Wait for a light frothing to occur (after adding the lemon juice), then mix well.

  • Mix in the dry ingredients until combined.

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat – otherwise, everything will stick.
