Blueberry Crisp Stuffed Dates
These Blueberry Crisp Stuffed Dates are made with an easy blueberry compote and oat topping, then air-fried to perfection—like a mini blueberry crisp in every bite!
Equipment
Ingredients
Blueberry Compote
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- squeeze lemon juice
Crisp Topping
- 4 tablespoons rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Make the Blueberry Compote
- Add the blueberries, maple syrup, cornstarch (or arrowroot), and a squeeze of lemon juice to a saucepan over medium heat.
- Use a fork or potato masher to gently crush the berries, leaving some whole for texture.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the compote thickens.
Make the Crisp Topping
- In a small bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
Stuff the Dates
- If your dates still contain the pits, use a knife to make a shallow slice down the middle of each date (be careful not to slice all the way through) and remove the pit.
- Gently open each date to make room for the filling, then add a spoonful of the warm blueberry compote and sprinkle with the crisp topping.
Air Fry the Dates
- Place the stuffed dates in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 4-5 minutes, or until the topping is golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!
- Remove from the air fryer and let cool for a few minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
- Choose good quality dates. Fresh medjool dates are best for that perfect chewy and gooey base.
- Use fresh blueberries. Let's put blueberry season to good use! Frozen blueberries will work too—just thaw and drain excess liquid before cooking the compote.
- Keep an eye on the air fryer. Keep an eye on the crisp topping as it can go from golden to burnt quickly! If you don’t have an air fryer, baking at 350°F for 8-10 minutes works great too.
