I was browsing through Facebook posts when I found this video from Tip Hero on Mini Pecan Pies using dates. Since I looooveeeee pecan pies, this recipe really attracts my attention especially it is a healthier version recipe and the steps are quite easy. So I quickly get to baking without wasting any time since I already have a box of dates in my fridge and also my frozen homemade pie dough that I have make ahead of time which is part of my meal planning menu. The result is so delicious and even my husband that does not eat dates also like this.(*psst..he still doesn't know that I used dates in the recipe 😁)
Recipe source: Tip Hero

12 pitted Dates
2 Large Eggs

¼ tsp of Salt
