Step 1

Heat your oven to 375 degrees F and rub a muffin pan with coconut oil.

Step 2

Place the dates in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, until soft. Add them into a large food processor with the pumpkin, oil and egg, stopping to scrape the sides as needed. The dates won't totally break down and that's okay!

Step 3

Add the rest of the ingredients and process until blended.

Step 4

Spoon into 6 muffin cavities (I use an ice cream scoop for rounded tops) and cover with pecans, if desired. Bake for 5 mins. Then, reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and bake another 12-6 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 5

Let cool in the pan and then DEVOUR!
