Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 6 tablespoons Almond butter
- 3 tablespoons Chopped almonds
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Begin by slicing each Medjool date lengthwise on one side to remove the pits, creating a little pocket for stuffing. Set them aside.
Using a small spoon, carefully fill each date with approximately half a tablespoon of almond butter. The amount may vary slightly depending on the size of your dates.
Once all the dates have been stuffed with almond butter, sprinkle a few chopped almond pieces into the almond butter filling of each date. Lightly press the almonds so they adhere to the almond butter.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt onto each stuffed date to enhance the flavor. Be sure not to over-salt as a little goes a long way.
Scatter the unsweetened shredded coconut over a small plate.
Gently roll each stuffed date in the shredded coconut, ensuring they are lightly coated on both the top and bottom.
Arrange the almond butter stuffed dates on a serving platter. You may refrigerate them for around 15 minutes if you'd like a firmer texture before serving.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy these bites as a nutritious snack or dessert!
