Instructions

Prep the Dates: Slice the Medjool dates lengthwise and carefully remove the pits, keeping each date intact for stuffing.
Make the Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, mix the almond flour, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy, achieving a slightly firm but not sticky cookie dough texture.
Stuff the Dates: Spoon a small amount of cookie dough into each date, pressing gently to fit without overfilling.
Add Chocolate Chips: Press a few mini chocolate chips into the cookie dough inside each stuffed date for a classic cookie dough feel; add extra chips on top if desired.
Chill: Place the stuffed dates on a parchment-lined tray or plate and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up the dough and the dates.
Optional – Sprinkle with Sea Salt: Just before serving, lightly sprinkle sea salt on top of the stuffed dates to enhance the sweet and salty flavor combination.
Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, these treats are ready to be enjoyed as a wholesome snack or healthier dessert option.

Notes

You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar as alternative natural sweeteners.
Use a chocolate-flavored nut butter for a richer, more indulgent taste.
Feel free to add mix-ins such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to customize flavors.
