How to Make Gluten Free Date Pecan Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. In a blender, combine ½ cup grapeseed oil, ½ cup agave nectar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup finely chopped apples. Blend until completely smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans and 1 cup chopped dates.
  5. Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
