Instructions

Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the pitted, smashed dates in an even layer and cook for about 5 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The butter should be browned and nutty, but not burnt. Give the pan a shake a few times to help everything cook evenly.
While the dates cook, spread the Greek yogurt into serving bowls. Sprinkle a little cinnamon over the yogurt. Once the dates are ready, evenly divide them among the bowls, then spoon the brown butter over the top.
Drizzle each bowl with honey, sprinkle with finely chopped pistachios, and finish with a pinch of flaky salt.
