- Preheat the oven to 375°F.

- Make the topping: In a small bowl, combine chopped sprouted walnuts, olive oil, orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly coated and crumbly.
- Top the dates: Spoon the walnut mixture over the stuffed dates, pressing gently so it adheres.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, just until the dates are warmed through and the cream cheese is slightly softened.
- Finish & serve: Drizzle lightly with honey before serving warm.
Notes
Depending on the size of the Medjool dates, you may need to adjust the amount of cream cheese filling. Smaller dates use less cream cheese, larger dates add more cream cheese.
