Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly oil a 12 cup muffin pan or line with paper liners.

In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and coconut. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, bananas, butter, honey, and vinegar. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ones. Fold in the dates, carrots, and walnuts. Divide the batter among among the muffin cups.

Bake for 40 minutes, until golden brown or a skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Since there is no actual flour, the muffins will not rise significantly. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then turn out the muffins onto the rack anklet cool to warm or room temperature.
