Method for these Almond Stuffed Dates

You’ll start by slicing each date in half the long way and take the pit out.

Take a portion of the almond butter and stuff it into the halves of the dates. Press a raw almond into the almond butter.

Then sprinkle with cinnamon and hemp seeds. It’s ready to serve at this point, but you can also put it on a baking sheet and bake them at 400°F for 15 minutes if you want the almond to have a bit of a toasted taste.
