Healthy Indulgence: 5 Deliciously Simple Stuffed Date Recipes

Nutrient-dense dates are a staple ingredient in the whole-food, plant-based kitchen, bringing natural sweetness to everything from salads to grain bowls to desserts. And for an easy yet elegant appetizer or a decadent-tasting snack, you can’t beat stuffed dates. Here are five simple yet satisfying stuffed date recipes that come together in just 15 minutes.

With their large size and ultra-pliable texture, plump, candy-like Medjool dates are ideal for stuffing. You can also use Deglet Noor, a smaller, less sweet variety, but you’ll need to use about twice as many dates.
