I’m not kidding when I say that you will never need another sweet treat. This recipe hits every single base - sweet, salty, creamy, crunchy AND healthy without tasting like it (in the bad way).
WHAT’S INSIDE:
dates - great source of fiber and unrefined sugar (sweetness); high in potassium, magnesium, and vitamin B6; high in antioxidants (flavonoids, carotenoids, phenolic acids)
OatHaus Pumpkin Spice Granola Butter - very similar to nut butter, but made with oats instead of nuts! I’ve recently learned that my body has a hard digesting nut butters (especially peanut, sadly), so OatHaus granola butters have been a blessing. pumpkin spice felt so right this time of year!
Hu Kitchen Simple Snacking Gems, dark chocolate - the BEST and highest quality dark chocolate there is. it has truly become my favorite!
coconut oil - added to the dark chocolate for a thinner consistency
pecans or walnuts - added for a little crunch!
RECIPE
10-12 organic Medjool dates
OatHaus Pumpkin Spice Granola Butter (OR your favorite nut butter - make sure it’s just nuts and salt on the ingredients list)
¼ cup Hu Kitchen Simple Snacking Gems, dark chocolate
¼ teaspoon coconut oil
10-12 raw pecans or walnuts
Slice the dates in half on one side only and carefully remove the pits.
Place about one teaspoon of granola butter or nut butter into the center of each date, where the pit was, followed by one pecan or walnut. Repeat with all 10-12 dates, then place in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
Remove the dates from the freezer and drizzle the melted chocolate over the top. Sprinkle with a touch of sea salt and refrigerate until firm.
Enjoy!
