For a nut-free alternative, use sunflower seed butter or tahini instead of almond butter.
After drizzling with chocolate, sprinkle with chopped pistachios, walnuts, shredded coconut, or hemp seeds before the chocolate sets.
Mix a pinch of ground cinnamon, cardamom, or a dash of vanilla extract into the almond butter before filling the dates.
Feel free to substitute almond butter with peanut butter, cashew butter, or pistachio butter for a different flavor profile.
Dates are a fantastic source of natural sugars like glucose and fructose, providing a quick and sustained energy boost. This makes them an ideal pre-workout snack or a healthy treat to combat an afternoon slump.
Almond butter is rich in monounsaturated fats, which are known to support cardiovascular health by helping to reduce bad cholesterol levels (LDL) and maintain healthy good cholesterol levels (HDL).
Both dates and almonds are excellent sources of dietary fiber. Fiber is crucial for promoting healthy digestion, preventing constipation, and increasing feelings of fullness, which can help with weight management.
This simple snack is a good source of essential minerals like potassium and magnesium from dates, and magnesium and vitamin E from almonds, which support nerve function, muscle health, and bone strength.
Each stuffed date contains approximately 85-110 calories, depending on the exact size of the date and whether you include the optional chocolate drizzle.
Yes, in moderation, they are a very healthy snack. They offer natural sugars for energy from dates, healthy monounsaturated fats and protein from almond butter, and are a good source of fiber. They are a great whole-food alternative to processed sweets.
While Medjool dates are recommended for their large size and soft, caramel-like texture, you can use other varieties like Deglet Noor. They are smaller, so you may need to adjust the amount of filling.
If your dates are a bit dry or hard, you can rehydrate them by soaking them in a bowl of warm water for 10-15 minutes. Afterward, pat them completely dry with a paper towel before slitting and stuffing.
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, you can freeze them on a tray in a single layer before transferring to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
