100 grams of pitted and halved plums
1 tsp of ground Ceylon cinnamon
A little bit of water

200 ml oat flour
1 tablespoon date paste (made by softening 1 date with a bit of water, then mixing using a handheld blender or mini-prep)

1-2 tablespoons of water if the dough isn’t moist enough (but you don’t want it to be wet – just moist!)
