Tips
Dates are specifically used because they have a lower glycemic index, don't spike blood sugar as much, are high in potassium and fiber, and contribute to a nice and moist texture in the muffins.
Adjust the number of dates based on your sweetness preference, as they come in different sizes.
You can use almond butter or any other nut butter.
You can use maple syrup or coconut sugar instead of dates.
Adding a heavy sprinkle of salt enhances the flavor.
