Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Slice jalapeños lengthwise and seed them.

Arrange jalapeño halves onto a baking sheet.

Combine dates and bacon in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely ground together.
(8 medjool dates, pitted (if you use regular dates, you'll need 16-20 since they are much smaller))

Spoon filling into each of the jalapeño halves.

Sprinkle quinoa flakes (or panko, or parmesan cheese) over each popper.

Bake for 15 minutes.
