These healthy muffins are made wth almond meal instead of nutrient lacking bleached flour. I also love to add extra superfoods like chia and flax seeds! These healthy muffins are nutrient packed and the perfect snack for any time.
No-Sugar-Added Healthy Muffins
Dates are naturally sweet and Medjool dates are even sweeter! They’re also packed with
vitamins and minerals so I like to use them as much as I can instead of refined sugar.
I also like to use figs but you can skip that if you want.
Using really ripe bananas also adds to the sweetness of these healthy muffins.
I also like to use cream cheese in these muffins. It gives them a more moist and creamy consistency that is just awesome in a muffin.
