Ingredients
- 20 large fresh dates
- 1 cup thick Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup peanut (or any other nut or seed) butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Start by removing the pits from your large, whole dates. You can buy them already pitted, but I find they are much fresher with the pits. Remove the date pits by slicing a shallow line vertically down one side of the date, gently open the date and remove the pit.Melt the peanut butter and coconut oil for 20-30 seconds in the microwave (or in a small pot on stovetop) and add to a bowl with the yogurt and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.Place a heaped teaspoon of yogurt, peanut butter mixture inside each date.Add a few peanuts to each and freeze about 30 minutes.Keep in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
