Since I have shared a vegan meal, and a seafood meal, I simply cannot leave out the desert! Here is a recipe for delicious and nutritious no bake date, honey, and nut bars that is very easy to prepare, with both a vegan and non vegan variation.

You will need:
24-26 soft, pitted medjool dates and an equal number of walnut halves
2 sticks of unsalted butter, cut up in chunks (non vegan) or 3/4 cup oil (vegan)... I prefer coconut oil.
3 or 4 tablespoons of honey
1 1/2 tsp coconut extract
1 1/2 cup flour
1 cup finely chopped pistachios

Here’s what to do:

Open the dates part way and stuff them with the walnut halves then place them snuggly into a small lightly greased container, single layer.

Get a small non stick pan and melt the butter and honey on medium low heat, add the coconut extract, then stir in the flour until it turns golden brown... about 5 minutes

Pour it over the dates and be sure to fill in any gaps, let it sit a bit then top with the pistachios and lightly press them down

Cut into 9 bars, cover, and refrigerate for about an hour, then let them sit outside the fridge for about 10 minutes before serving.

Indulge and enjoy guilt free... this is one nutritious and healthy desert!

Keep leftovers in the fridge.
