When these muffins are warm and fresh out of the oven, they’re perfectly gooey + delicious, and taste just like a cinnamon roll! But don’t worry, they’re good cold, too.
These yummy Gluten-Free Cinnamon Date Muffins bring me back to my childhood days where my mom would bring home the Costco size pack of cinnamon rolls and it would be the BEST DAY EVER. Those were the days. These muffins are reminiscent of a cinnamon roll (without the icing of course) but in a healthy, clean-ingredient, muffin form!
My favorite way to enjoy them is fresh out of the oven when they’re warm and the dates are all gooey inside. But don’t worry, they’re tasty when they’re cold, too.
This recipe is only 7 simple ingredients and is gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free.
