How to Make Sugar Free Date Nut Muffins

1. Soak 1 cup pitted dates in 1 cup boiling water for 15-20 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce or oil.
4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup oat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just moistened. Do not overmix.
6. Gently fold in the soaked dates (drain excess water) and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
7. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
