Pitted Medjool Dates
1/3 cup
Peanut Butter
1 Tbsp
Chia Seed

Hemp Hearts

1
Slice dates, being careful to keep one side of the date intact instead of splitting it into two separate pieces. This will create a well to stuff your date with nut butter.
2
Add peanut butter, chia seeds, hemp hearts, sunflower seeds and cinnamon to a small bowl and stir to combine.
3
Fill each date with 1-2 tsp of seedy nut butter mixture.
4
Top stuffed dates with optional toppings or serve as is. Enjoy immediately! Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 1 week or the freezer for 1 month.

Substitutions: You can use any nut butter you prefer. If you are nut free you can use sunflower butter or tahini instead of peanut butter.
6
Optional toppings: Coarse salt, pumpkin seeds, and dark chocolate chips.
