Best Gluten Free Date Pecan Muffins Recipes
GLUTEN-FREE DATE PECAN MUFFINS
Satisfying and highly nutritious, these lightly sweetened muffins have chunks of date (a good source of potassium, calcium and iron) and pecan (high in protein, fiber, and antioxidants) in every bite, and are sweetened with low-glycemic agave nectar. From the book " The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook" by Elena Amsterdam, this recipe calls for blanched almond flour (Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour WILL NOT work for this recipe-it is too coarse). Blanched almond flour can be found at www.nutsonline.com, www.honeyvillegrain.com, or www.lucyskitchenshop.com.
