Method

Start by making the granola butter. Add the Mornflake Beta³ Oat Bran Granola Nuts & Seeds to a food processor or high-powered blender and blend until finely ground.
With the blender running, gradually add the neutral oil, starting with 2 tablespoons. Continue blending until the granola forms a smooth, thick and spreadable butter. Add a little more oil as needed, then blend in a pinch of sea salt.
Using a sharp knife, slice each Medjool date lengthways and remove the stone, being careful not to cut all the way through the date.
Gently open each date and fill generously with the granola butter. Press the sides of the date together slightly around the filling, while leaving some of the granola butter visible.
Place the stuffed dates in the fridge for around 15–20 minutes to firm up slightly before dipping.
Break the dark chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth. Stir through the coconut oil, if using, to make the chocolate slightly thinner and easier to dip.
Dip each stuffed date into the melted chocolate, using a fork to turn it until completely coated. Lift it out and allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Place the chocolate-covered dates onto a tray lined with baking paper.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle each date with a little crushed Mornflake Beta³ Oat Bran Granola Nuts & Seeds and a small pinch of Maldon sea salt.
Transfer to the fridge for approximately 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.
Allow the dates to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
