Fold the dates and half of the chopped almonds into the batter.

6.

Line a muffin pan with paper liners, and using an ice cream scoop, fill them three-quarters full.

7.

Sprinkle tops of muffins with rest of the almonds.

8.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

9.

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.
