Vegan Lemon Pocket Cake, no soy, no eggs, no added fats

While attempting to come up with a recipe for Vegan Lemon Souffle I inadvertently created a dense little lemon cake reminiscent of a Cliff Bar that would be perfect for on-the-go.  It has flaxseed meal in it and is sweetened with date sugar, and doesn't contain animal products or added oils/fats.
So although it is a failure as a lemon soufflĂ© (see my third attempt in the second photo below), it isn't bad with a cup of coffee so I want to keep the recipe.  I won't even talk about the second attempt.....
