Make This Recipe

Ingredients

2 large Eggland’s Cage-free brown eggs

11–12 dates, soaked in purified water (optional 1 tablespoon raw honey)

1/2 cup almond flour

3 tablespoons coconut flour

1 tablespoon tapioca or arrowroot starch

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder – double active

1/2 cup non-dairy milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 tablespoons melted coconut oil, naturally refined

1/2 cup or handful of chopped nuts or granola

Preparation

  1. To make the date paste, soak the dates in purified water for 1 to 2 hours. Discard all of the water except 2 tablespoons (15 ml) after soaking.
  2. Blend the dates together to create a sticky paste. Feel free to add 1 tbsp honey if you’d like it sweeter. Set aside.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a muffin pan with liners or make sure the muffin pan is well greased.
  4. Place the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl, and stir the ingredients to combine. In a separate, smaller bowl, mix the oil, non-dairy milk and vanilla extract.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry flour mixture, stirring to combine. Add the sticky date paste and 2 eggs, and mix until thoroughly combined.
  6. Scoop muffin batter into muffin liners (in a pan) filling 3/4 full. Repeat until 6-7 muffin liners are filled.
  7. Sprinkle with topping of choice; gluten-free granola, nuts, etc.
  8. Place muffin pan in the oven on center rack and bake at 350F for 23-28 minutes or until batter comes out clean on a toothpick.
  9. Remove and allow the muffins to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months.

NOTES:

If you are doubling the batter – You may double the batter, but the texture and baking times will vary. Do not double the date paste, just add an extra 1/3 cup maple syrup or raw honey with the paste.
