Today I wanted to share this healthy grain-free date pecan muffin recipe. Besides being dairy-free and gluten-free, these tasty muffins are made with coconut flour, bringing them to a whole new level of deliciousness. Coconut flour is low in net-carbs and is often used in keto and paleo recipes. As a sweetener, I used only a small amount of maple syrup because the dates add so much sweetness already. By adding pecans, the muffin has a subtle nutty flavour with a bit of crunch. For me, Wednesday is a day to make fresh muffins because whatever I baked over the weekend is always gone by midweek. This muffin is packed with protein and fiber, making it an excellent choice for breakfast or a snack.
