What you will need for this recipe

Dates – Dates are a great source of fiber, antioxidants, essential vitamins and minerals. They also may support digestion, bone health, and a healthy labor. There are so many great things to love about dates!

Cashew Butter – I find that using raw cashew butter taste best and doesn’t overpower the pumpkin pie mixture. Cashews are a great source of protein and healthy fats. Eating them in a more raw form is great because the nutrients in them aren’t depleted as much compared to roasted. My favorite brand is Artisana.

Coconut Flour – This a great gluten free low carb flour to use in recipes.

Pumpkin Puree – Adding pumpkin to your diet is a great way to sneak in more veggies and it is so easy to incorporate into recipes.

Maple Syrup – You can substitute with honey, stevia, or monk fruit if you’d like.

Pumpkin Spice – You definitely don’t want to skip on this ingredient to get that full pumpkin pie flavor!

Chocolate Chips – I like to use a dairy and refined sugar free dark chocolate for dipping the dates in. You can substitute with milk chocolate if you’d like.

Coconut Oil – This is what we will use to thin out the chocolate for dipping.

Pecans – Adding some chopped pecans to these stuffed dates adds a fun crunchy texture and delicious flavor.

How to make the pecan pumpkin pie stuffed dates

First, carefully cut a slit in the top of your dates and take out the pits. Then, Mix together the cashew butter, pumpkin, coconut flour, monk fruit, and pumpkin spice in a bowl. Add the pumpkin pie mixture into a frosting bag or plastic zip lock baggie and cut the end off one corner. Squeeze the mixture into each date filling up the center.

Next, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil either in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30 second increments. Dip the stuffed dates in the melted chocolate only covering half of the date.(You can dip the whole date in chocolate but it wont show the pretty filling.) Place the dates on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and the sprinkle the chopped pecans on the chocolate of each date.

Place the dates in the fridge to set. Once the chocolate has set on the dates, store in an air tight container in the fridge. Enjoy as a snack, dessert, or appetizer.
