• 8 red dates (pitted)

• 2 cups almond flour

• 3 tbsp melted ghee

• ¼ tsp ground cardamom

• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

• Optional toppings: almond slivers, chocolate chips, or chopped pecans — go wild!

 

Tip: I’ve linked my favorite ingredients on Amazon for easy shopping.

Instructions

1. Blend it up: Add everything to a food processor and pulse until it forms a soft dough.

   Avoid using a Nutribullet — trust me, I learned the hard way. My Ninja food processor worked great, any good blender would too. 

2. Adjust if needed: If the dough feels too dry, add an extra date or a bit more ghee.

3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

4. Shape: Roll dough into small balls and gently press your thumb in the center to create an indent.

5. Bake: Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.

6. Top it off: Once out of the oven, fill the indents with your favorite toppings.

7. Serve & enjoy: I love these with a cozy cup of tea or warm milk — but you do you!
