Notes
Almond flour: Use a quality superfine blanched almond flour for best results. Certain brands of almond flour have a coarser grind, which will affect the texture of your muffins.
Molasses: Make sure you’re using unsulphured molasses (something like Grandma’s Molasses) and stay away from anything labeled “blackstrap,” which has a stronger and more bitter flavor.
Storing: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
