Delight your taste buds with these Christmas Almond Butter Stuffed Date Bites, a no added sugar treat perfect for the holiday season!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds (or any nuts of choice)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Begin by carefully slicing each Medjool date lengthwise, creating a pocket without cutting all the way through.
- In a small bowl, combine almond butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each date with the almond butter mixture, ensuring they are generously stuffed.
- Roll the stuffed dates in chopped almonds and shredded coconut (if using) for added texture and flavor.
- Arrange the stuffed dates on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the almond butter to firm up.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delightful holiday treat.
Notes
- For a chocolatey twist, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the stuffed dates before chilling.
- Substitute almond butter with peanut butter or cashew butter for a different flavor profile.
