this recipe

I always love having dates around so I can whip up these bites whenever I get a craving for something sweet. The dates are perfectly chewy and sweet and pair beautifully with the peanut butter and coconut.

Ingredients

• Dates - I love using pre-pitted medjool dates, but other varieties will also work!
• Peanut butter - this could easily be swapped out for almond butter, cashew butter, or seed butter
• Coconut - I prefer to use unsweetened shredded coconut. I feel like the date already has enough sweetness, that using unsweetened coconut works perfectly.

How to make peanut butter coconut dates

Remove the pits from the dates if needed. Take your dates and slice each date in half.

Add your nut butter to each date half.

Sprinkle with shredded coconut.

Recipe tips

• I like to slice the dates completely in half before putting the peanut butter in. It's more like an "open-faced" date. However, you could just slice the date, leaving it intact, and put the peanut butter in the middle, sprinkling the coconut on top if you wish to leave the date whole.
• To make easier, buy pitted dates.
• The peanut butter can easily be swapped out for almond butter or seed butter.
