Ingredients

  • 250 g dates (about 30 dates)
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 2 tbs powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 cardamom pods (optional)
  • 3 tbs oats (2 tbs oat flour)
  • a pinch of salt
  • 100 g chocolate of choice
  • 1 tsp cold pressed coconut oil
  • more salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Grind the oats, sugar, salt, cinnamon and cardamom seeds into a fine powder
  2. Mix all the dry ingredients with the tahini
  3. Keep mixing until the texture starts to feel and look like wet sand.
  4. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil using a bain-marie.
  5. Drizzle less than a teaspoon of melted chocolate on each date.

Such a great snack! So easy to make, so versatile – you can switch the tahini with peanut butter, almond butter, play around with the kind of chocolate you’re drizzling on top, maybe use graham cracker crumbs instead of oats – the world is your oyster, and so is this recipe, my friend! Have it before your workout, throw it into your child’s lunch box, or just enjoy it as it is.

You may have seen my work on TV, Food Network, NYT Cooking, Food52 and more. I make recipes more fun and accessible for home cooks. I immigrated to the US from Transylvania, Romania—where I lived most of my life—in 2021 to pursue my passion for cooking full-time. Here you’ll find a collection of approachable recipes, from weeknight dinners to desserts, you’ll come back to over and over again. Some of my most popular recipes include my chicken paprikash, orange chicken roast with fennel and shallots or butter beans all vodka. Some recipes are inspired by my Romanian-Hungarian upbringing, and most definitely all come with that Transylvanian resourcefulness! I love a good thrift, so make sure to catch my thrift hauls every Sunday on my Instagram!
