Almond Flour Muffins
Almond Flour Muffins combine ground almond flour with pureed Medjool dates, eggs, and coconut oil to create moist, tender muffins with a natural sweetness. The addition of mini chocolate chips adds occasional bursts of chocolate throughout the crumb. The muffins are flavored with vanilla and cinnamon, and baking soda used for leavening results in a light texture without traditional flour.
