Clean Eating Stuffed Dates
From: Tiffany @ www.thegraciouspantry.com/
I can’t kid myself. If I want to lose weight, I need to give up the desserts the majority of the time.
While this is an ongoing battle for me, there is one more fact of life that I can’t kid myself about. The fact that I WILL eat dessert from time to time. It’s inevitable. Dessert happens. So I try really hard to make sure that whatever dessert I do eat, is as healthy and clean as possible. This recipe is a perfect case in point.
Ingredients:
Dates
Almond butter or cashew butter (about 1 tsp. per date)
Cinnamon
Salt
Directions:
With each date, slice down the middle on one side and remove seeds.
Using a spoon or knife, stuff each date with approximately 1 teaspoon of nut butter.
Arrange on plate.
Sprinkle generously with cinnamon.
Sprinkle the tiniest pinch of salt on each date.
Just a few granules, or it will be overpowering.
Serve.
