Inspired by the almond flour muffins in Casey Means’ new book Good Energy, I decided to make them my own. I’ve been making her recipe for black bean brownies every week since I read the book, and I don’t feel bad about it at all. Means uses dates as a sweetener in the brownies, and so I thought, why not try using dates in these almond flour muffins?

Her muffin recipe is the only one in the book I think where she calls for some type of natural sweetener like xylitol. Ever since I got the scare about erythritol, I’m avoiding anything I’m not 100% about. I trust Casey Means, and I also trust dates. And I feel like she may have only included a sweetener to make things easier and more approachable.

Though I’m all about easy, if it’s something I’m going to eat frequently I need it to be foolproof healthy, too. So these muffins are a compromise: possibly the healthiest muffins in the world, but you do have to blend up some dates for them.

(Or, honestly, you could use ½-¾ cup maple syrup or coconut sugar if you really don’t feel like blending dates.)

What is Date Paste?

Date paste is exactly what it sounds like: a paste of blended dates. The easiest way to make date paste is by soaking whole dates in hot water for a few minutes before blending them in a high-speed food processor. You can add small amounts of water if necessary.

Here is my detailed, EASY recipe for making date paste. (And it’ll open in a new tab so you can keep this one up.)

I have been making the switch in my kitchen from refined sugar to date paste whenever possible. So far, the only two things the substitute hasn’t worked for are tea/coffee and salad dressing. What can I say? I like my dressing on the sweeter side. So for those two I’m still using stevia. 

(If you have any brand recommendations for stevia, please let me know below! I like SweetLeaf, but I’m still not crazy about silica and inulin on the ingredient list since I try to keep the kitchen as *whole food* as possible.)

Using date paste in these muffins meant that I needed to change the recipe a bit, too. Almond flour by itself isn’t much of an absorber compared to something like wheat flour. But since I wanted to keep these muffins gluten free and away from wheat, I used half almond flour and half coconut flour. 

The combination of almond and coconut flours work together quite well. The almond flour keeps the muffins high in healthy protein, while the coconut flour helps absorb the little bit of extra liquid from the date paste (as opposed to dry sugar and sweetener that we’re not using). 

Ingredients for Almond Flour Muffins 

How To Make Almond Flour Muffins

Soak the dates in a mug with hot water while you get everything else ready.

Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Line a muffin tray with silicone muffin cups or spray with baking oil (I use avocado oil). 

In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 

Use a microwave-safe bowl to melt the coconut oil (whisk any little lumps away). Mix in vanilla, lemon juice and zest, then eggs. Lastly, add the date paste and mix until combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. The mixture will be pretty solid.
