Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cups Tapioca flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cups Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
• 0.75 cups Pecans, chopped
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with coconut oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Add almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil, and whisk together until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped dates and pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
