Pecan & Date Tarts

If you have a sweet tooth, and you like dates and pecans, then I guarantee this recipe won’t disappoint. It’s easy to make, with minimal ingredients, and although it’s a treat, it’s still healthy too.

The majority of sweetness comes from the dates which is also balanced by their fibre and the healthy fats in the pecans and almonds.
