The caramel part of this recipe is made from soaked dates.  You can even do a salted caramel option if you like.  I am definitely trying that one next time!

If you want to make these nut free, you can always use sunflower butter and another kind of milk.  Also, if cashew butter isn’t your thing, you can  definitely use almond butter or peanut butter instead.

  1. These sound great! I would prefer regular size muffins instead of mini. Do you know how much longer they would need to bake? Thank you!
  2. These are very dense and dry. I made sure to not pack the oat flour because that has made my baking dry before. I did 3T almond milk. I think a combo of almond flour and oat flour would do the trick. Or just more milk. The flavor is perfect, but they’re too dense.
  3. I blended the dates but they never got smooth like caramel. It was more like cookie dough. I couldn’t swirl it so it wasn’t dispersed throughout the batter. The muffins that it had were good but it wasn’t in most of the them. It said to use a small blender so I used a mini Ninja instead of my Blendtec. I wonder if that would have worked better.
