SERVES AS A SNACK
Stuffed Dates with Peanut Butter
4 large Mejdool dates
4 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
Cinnamon (optional, for topping)
Pomegranate arils (optional, for topping)
“This is my go-to snack when I’m feeling hungry, or want something sweet that also feels somewhat healthy. These dates and peanut butter are simple as ever — you can eat them straight up, or heat them lightly in the oven for five minutes until the peanut butter melts and the dates are warmed through.”

Dates
For Peanut Butter Dates: Using a knife, make a small incision in each date lengthwise (from top to bottom) and remove the pit. Arrange the dates, cut side up on a plate or serving dish, and carefully spoon a small amount of peanut butter into each one, approximately 1 teaspoon per date. Top with cinnamon and/or pomegranate, if using.
