We are a huge fan of Medjool dates, and they are what I use to make this recipe.
First to clarify, there are many different kinds of dates, but most “regular” (aka the most common) dates you’ll see in the grocery store are likely Deglet Noor Dates.
- Regular dates: These dates are smaller, more firm, and have a lighter texture. They will also likely taste a more like dried fruit.
- Medjool dates: These dates are larger, softer, and have a rich caramel-like flavour. They’re chewy and rich and sweeter than regular dates.
Since Medjool dates are so big and soft, they are perfect for stuffing.
You can also use regular dates if that is what you have on hand, but they’ll be a bit more difficult to stuff with your almond butter, and of course may not be quite as tasty
TIPS & VARIATIONS:
- Make a batch of these dates for meal prep and store them in an air-tight container for a quick and easy snack.
- Use Medjool dates if you can, they are larger and will be easier to stuff
- You can swap out the almond butter for your favourite type of nut butter.
- Try topping these dates with more chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a pinch of cinnamon.
