Ingredients
- 10 medjool dates
- 2 tbsp flax meal + 6 tbsp water (or 2 egg whites)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp peppermint extract
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 bar chocolate bar, melted
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp espresso powder
- Optional: peppermint chocolates
Instructions
- Preheat oven 350 degrees
- Prepare a muffin tin with cooking spray (I don't recommend using liners, they will stick)
- Make flax egg by combining flax meal and water in a dish then set aside to thicken 5 minutes
- Melt chocolate in a glass dish setting on top of a pot of boiling water
- In a food processor add all ingredients & combine well - it will take a few minutes
- Transfer batter to muffin cavities
- Bake 13-15 minutes
- Remove from oven then top with peppermint chocolates as desired, they will melt as the muffins cool
- Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving
