  • Author: Heather Love

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup pitted dates, chopped
  • ¼ cup walnuts or cashews
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Banana icing

  • ¼ cup raw coconut butter
  • 1 banana (cut off a small section and thinly slice to top your muffins)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • desiccated coconut for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F
  2. Stir dry ingredients in a large bowl
  3. Mix wet ingredients + walnuts in a food processor until it is a creamy, wet consistency
  4. Stir your wet and dry ingredients together in your dry ingredients bowl
  5. Grease muffins tins with coconut oil & add your batter
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes. I usually start checking mine at 12 minutes with a toothpick, just to make sure they’re not overcooking.
  7. Rinse out your food processor to make the icing
  8. Simply add the icing ingredients to the food processor and mix until it starts to look creamy and smooth like icing, this will take a few minutes
  9. When your muffins are done baking, cover them with the sweet banana icing and top with slices of banana or coconut if you like
