Walnut-Stuffed Dates — A Practical Iron- and Energy-Giving Snack for Mum
Made in just a few minutes with pitted dates and walnuts, this no-cook snack is a naturally sweet break that accompanies a mother's iron and energy intake in the postpartum period.
⚠️ Contains allergens: nuts
Ingredients
- 10 piece pitted dates
- 10 half walnut halves
- 1 pinch cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut (optional)
Directions
- 1
If the dates are not already pitted, slit them lengthwise on one side and remove the pits (do not cut all the way through).
- 2
Wipe the walnuts with a damp cloth; halve any very large pieces.
- 3
Place a walnut half inside each date and gently press the edges closed.
- 4
Optionally sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the top.
- 5
If you like, roll the dates in desiccated coconut.
- 6
Arrange on a serving plate and serve at room temperature; keep any leftovers in a closed container for a few days.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
With their natural sugars and iron content, dates may help support your energy in tired moments. Walnuts add healthy fats and plant-based protein, making the snack more satisfying. Because it requires no cooking and comes together in a few minutes, it can be a practical option to have on hand on busy days.
Maiyko's note
We know that while caring for your baby, you often put off taking small breaks for yourself. You can make this snack in advance and keep it nearby, ready for the moments you feel tired; at Maiyko, we believe a mother's nourishment matters just as much as her baby's.
