Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
⅔ cup fat-free milk
⅔ cup chopped pitted dates
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup coarsely shredded peeled cooking apple
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup packed brown sugar (see Tip)
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 teaspoon flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat an 8x8x2-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine milk, dates, and salt; heat until steaming. Remove from heat. Stir in apple and vanilla; cool. Add egg and oil; stir until combined. Set aside.
In a small bowl stir together pecans, brown sugar, butter, the 1 teaspoon flour, and the cinnamon; set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder, and baking soda. Add milk mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until combined. Spoon batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle evenly with pecan mixture.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
