Directions

For the Muffins

  1. If the coconut oil is solid, heat it in a small saucepan until just melted but still cool. Preheat oven to 350° F.

  2. In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. In a second bowl, mix the coconut oil, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla.

  4. Combine dry ingredients with wet.

  5. 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.
