  Made this with gluten free flour as one large pudding and steamed it for 2 hours. Great, though will add more syrup at base next time.

  Good, but not perfect. The use of dates creates a film-like, almost waxy texture between your teeth -- very minor, but not true sticky toffee pud I'm afraid. And I agree with helenf: more syrup is needed at the base.

  Having always thought dates must taste as awful as they look, this was the perfect introduction to them. Once i realised that they weren't pre-pitted from Julian Graves (my food processor survived - just) i was delighted to find this pudding tasted amazing ! I did add some pecans to the base (i made one large one in a 2pint pudding bowl) and i can only assume that the quantity stated for the vanilla should read 1 TSP and NOT TBSP ?? i went with the former for fear of overwhelming the pudding and could still taste the vanilla. This recipe has been passed on to many friends already !

  I made this yesterday as I found a box of dates left over from Xmas!(still in date by two months). A very light delicious pudding served with some equally delicious full cream cornish ice cream. I made eight small puddings, freezing four for a later date. Next time I will add a pecan to each mould.

  I cooked this as part of my new year's plan to lose weight. The family didn't know that it was a guilt free version. My son ate two as his sister was away- admittedly he ate his with double cream but I was good and had it with o% greek yoghurt. They are delicious and so light. Will defo do again!

  Good for a 'healthier' recipe though I still thought they were a big treat (shows how long I've been dieting for I suppose!) It says to cover tightly with foil - I did do this but they all rose up and therefore became a bit tougher at the base. Next time I would tie/use elastic bands to keep in place. Enjoyed them though and would definitely make them again.

  Didn't have any vanilla, so I left it out. Still, wonderful recipe, as good as any normal Sticky Toffee pudding I've ever had, and fabulous for my mother who struggles to stick to a low cholesterol diet!

  Excellent recipe, and the extra ones tasted just as good the night after too. However, they might be low fat, but they are not low sugar!! Still great though!

  Very very delicious and pretty easy to make. Used golden syrup instead of maple syrup and reduced the amount - 4 Tablespoons, quite sweet enough for us, used 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence. Everyone loved it, will definitely make it again. Good that it was low fat too!

  I used date syrup instead of maple syrup which is less sweet and I felt it complemented the taste more somehow. Doubled the quantities for a larger batch and turned out very well.
