Ingredients
- 1 cup date paste
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup 1.5 coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Juice and zest of 2 lemons
- 3 eggs
Optional Strawberry Topping:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp honey more if desired
Instructions
- Make date paste.
- 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. Divide into muffin cups and bake 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Optional: Add strawberries, water and honey to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the strawberry topping over your muffins when serving. (You can warm the sauce in a small saucepan first, if desired.)
