These cute little treats pack in so much flavour in a small bite and are definitely a new favourite snack in the household. A creamy, high protein mixture stuffed in the middle of sweet dates, covered in dark chocolate with a sprinkling of crunchy granola on the outside equals perfection! You could use white chocolate instead, or cover with dessicated coconut or flaked almonds too.
Ingredients:
- 10-12 dates
- 1 tablespoon nut butter
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar
- ½ scoop protein powder of choice
- Dash of oat milk
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 50g dark chocolate
- Granola, to sprinkle over
Make them!
- Cut the dates in half and flatten them out by pressing down on them or using a rolling pin.
- Mix together the nut butter, icing sugar, protein powder and enough oat milk to make the mixture into a thick paste.
- Spread a little over half of the dates then press the other half over it and gently squeeze together. Melt the coconut oil and chocolate, then spoon this generously over each date.
- Sprinkle over some granola then allow to set for at least 1 hour. Chill in the fridge and enjoy!
