These stuffed dates make the perfect little desserts. They take about 10 seconds to make and are perfect for when you want a little something sweet. After dinner, I always crave something sweet and these dessert dates are the perfect treat to satisfy that sweet craving. You only need 4 simple ingredients to make this recipe. These dessert dates are gluten-free, vegan, and contain no added sugar.
I use dates as the sweetener in many of my dessert recipes (like my Banana Bread and Tigernut Flour Pumpkin Bread recipes) because they taste so naturally sweet and delicious. Unlike sweeteners such as cane sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, honey, etc., dates taste sweet, but also contain fiber. Fiber is the indigestible part of food that is associated with several health benefits. Fiber also helps keep you feeling full and satisfied.
What You’ll Need to Make Dessert Dates:
Dates: You, of course, can’t make dessert dates without dates! Choose pitted dates or be sure to remove the pits before consuming.
Nut/Seed Butter: You can use any kind of nut or seed butter in this recipe. My personal preference is peanut butter. Whichever you choose, opt for an unsweetened variety.
Cacao Nibs: Cacao nibs are like sugarless chocolate chips. They add a nice crunch to the stuffed dates.
Sea Salt: Sea salt enhances the flavor of the stuffed dates.
Directions:
- Slice dates and remove pits.
- Place a small amount (1-1.5 tsp portion) of nut or seed butter into each date.
- Top the date with cacao nibs and sea salt.
