Ingredients
Scale
Dates
- 6 Medjool dates (pitted)
Filling
- 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 3 tablespoons chopped pistachios
- 1 tablespoon honey (substitute with maple syrup or agave syrup if desired)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare dates: If the dates still have pits, make a shallow slice down the middle of each date being careful not to slice all the way through, then remove the pit. Gently open each date to create space for the filling.
- Make filling: In a small bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, chopped walnuts, honey (or your chosen syrup substitute), cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the nuts are evenly coated and the mixture is well combined.
- Stuff dates: Using a spoon, carefully fill the cavity of each date with the nut and spice mixture, ensuring each date is generously stuffed. Serve immediately and enjoy this sweet and nutty treat.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
- Choose soft Medjool dates for easier pitting and stuffing.
- This recipe requires no cooking, making it quick and convenient.
- Store stuffed dates in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For added flair, drizzle with a little extra honey or sprinkle with crushed pistachios before serving.
