Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 10 medjool dates, pitted and flattened
- 1/2 cup runny peanut butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup peanuts
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (or to taste)
Optional Topping
- Melted chocolate (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut flour, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, creating your cookie dough base.
- Add Peanuts and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the peanuts and mini chocolate chips into the peanut butter mixture, ensuring even distribution without breaking up the chips.
- Assemble Date Bites: Roll the peanut butter cookie dough into small balls. Place one small ball on top of each flattened date to create stuffed bites. For extra indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate over the top if desired.
- Chill to Set: Place the stuffed dates in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up the cookie dough topping. Once set, transfer them to the refrigerator for storage. Serve chilled and enjoy your no-bake treat!
Notes
- Use soft medjool dates for easy flattening and sweetness.
- Runny peanut butter works best for mixing; stir natural peanut butter if needed to loosen.
- Adjust the amount of chocolate chips to your taste preference.
- Store these bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
- Freezing before serving helps the cookie dough firm up while maintaining a nice texture.
