Ingredients

1 cup tightly packed pitted dates
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup smooth almond butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

Add 1 cup tightly packed pitted dates to a bowl, then add 2 cups boiling water, ensuring that the dates are completely submerged.
Let the dates soak in the water for 30 minutes.
After the dates have finished soaking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the dates and soaking liquid, 1/2 cup smooth almond butter, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a food processor or blender.
Blend until smooth.
Add 2 1/3 cups whole wheat flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder to a large mixing bowl, then mix well.
Add the blended date mixture to the mixing bowl, then stir to combine.
Divide the batter evenly into a 12 cup muffin pan lined with paper baking cups.
Bake for 33 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out looking clean.
Let the muffins cool to room temperature before removing from the pan and serving.

Notes

Add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter, if desired.
Store these muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze them for up to three months.
