Common Questions & Swaps
-
If you do not have frozen strawberries on hand, swap them out with any other frozen berries you have. These muffins would be delicious with a blueberry and raspberry jam as well!
-
Feel free to use any dates you have on hand. If they are the hard ones, pit and measure them, place them in a bowl, boil some water and cover the dates with 3/4 cup of boiling water. Let sit for 10 minutes before continuing to step 3, transferring both the dates and water to a high speed blender.

I have not tried this recipe with other flours, so I cannot guarantee the result if you play with the spelt and oat flour. Just know that the consistency might not be the same.
