- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts walnuts, almonds, or pistachios
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds or pumpkin seeds
- Optional: 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup to taste
Instructions
- Let yogurt sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to prevent curdling.
- Heat a small skillet over low to medium-low heat.
- Add butter or coconut oil and let melt gently.
- Add chopped dates and cinnamon. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring gently, until dates are soft, glossy, and warmed through.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Spoon yogurt into a serving bowl.
- Top with warm dates and drizzle any pan juices over the yogurt.

- Dates are naturally sweet—taste before adding extra sweetener.
- If yogurt becomes watery, the dates were too hot; let them cool slightly next time.
