Grain-Free Muffin with Dates and Pecans

I am super excited to share this healthy Grain-Free Date Pecan Muffin recipe. This tasty muffin is made with coconut and arrowroot flour, keeping the muffin gluten-free, grain-free, and paleo-friendly.

♥ This grain-free muffin is more than just sugar and butter!

The date and pecan muffin is not your typical sugar and butter muffin. This wholesome muffin is made without dairy and is flavoured with cardamom and turmeric. Both of these spices are well known in Indian cuisine and add a pleasant flavour to the hearty muffin. Also, the muffin is made with pecans, adding a subtle nutty flavour with a bit of crunch. The fresh lemon juice adds a little zest complimenting the cardamom. To sweeten the muffin, I used mostly dates and a splash of maple syrup.

By using coconut flour in this recipe, I cut back on extra carbs, and the texture is better keeping the muffins moist. One of our most popular muffin recipes made with coconut flour is the grain-free blueberry buttermilk muffin. Coconut flour is often used in keto and paleo recipes. For me, Wednesday is a day to make fresh muffins because weekend baking is gone, so it is time to bake something fresh.

This muffin is packed with protein and fiber, making it an excellent choice for breakfast or a snack on the go!
