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.

I speak 5 languages, but my favorite way to communicate is through the universal language of food. I translate food to be more approachable and accessible for the everyday cook. I didn't grow up with a lot, so I’ve always loved thrifting and finding a good sale. That also shapes my approach to cooking: I try to make most of my recipes as affordable as possible, and that is what my SCRAPS newsletter is about.
