Pecan pie...without the sugar.

Today's snack is yummy, easy to prepare, and GOOD FOR YOU! What is it, you ask? Well, pie, of course. Yes, it's true. You can actually have pie on the Daniel Fast! Can I have an amen? ;)

These delicious pies are made with nothing more than dates and pecans. Dates are loaded with natural sugar, which made them super sweet. The pecans add a little bit of texture and crunch. The result is a treat that tastes amazingly like pecan pie. Even if you're not a big fan of pecan pie, give these goodies a try.

(My husband, who has a sweet tooth, says the Petite Pecan Pies are his #1 snack to satisfy his sugar cravings.)















Petite Pecan Pies

8 Medjool dates
8 pecan halves

Instructions
Remove pits from dates, and stuff one pecan half into each date. Serves 4...or maybe two. :)

Recipe Notes
  • Medjool dates are the largest variety and work best with pecan halves. If you use smaller pecan pieces, you could use the smaller Deglet Noor dates instead.

Who would have guessed that dates have such fancy names?!

Yeah, I had to give it a tantalizing name so that people wouldn't have a choice but to try it! :)
