Recipe for the week!
If you are trying to eat a more "paleo" like diet but sometimes miss muffins - then try these out. I've made them twice now and loved them - I was even able to pass them off as regular muffins to some people at work.
2 cups of almonds (ground to flour in processor)
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/2 cup pitted dates
2-3 ripe bananas
3 eggs
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup finely diced apple
1 1/4 cup shredded carrot
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
Combine almond flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda. Blend or process bananas, dates, eggs, vinegar and oil - add to the dry ingredients and mix. Fold in apple, carrot and walnuts. Cook at 350 for 25 minutes. Enjoy!
The original recipe was posted at Livestrong.com here. I changed the salt content cause the first time I made them they tasted too salty for my taste. Also I halved the amount of dates and added some apple. Thanks to Rebecca for pointing me to this recipe during the Look Good Naked Challenge! If you like these - then you should also try these muffins from Everyday Paleo: Paleo Apple Muffins or these from Elana's Pantry: Carrot Banana Muffins.

Those look good! Can you almond flour (like Bob's Red Mill? How much flour does 2 cups of almonds end up as - 1 cup?
Use 2 cups of Bob's Red Mill... 2 cups of almonds processed is roughly 2 cups of almond flour... give or take. I'm not very exact when it comes to cooking. :)
I am trying these with the carrot swapped for zucchini since it is the season for the zukes. Hopefully it's just as yummy as when you make them with carrots.
