Pat's Christmas Cake Muffins

This recipe (including the name) is from "Lucy's Specific Carbohydrate Diet Cookbook" (www.lucyskitchenshop.com). It really tastes like Christmas fruitcake, if you're into that sort of thing (which I am). However, the honey and dried fruit that comprise much of this recipe means that it really should be a "once a year" treat.

UPDATE - Hmm, this might be a repeat. You know what, it's so good, I'm gonna let both copies stay. You really have to try these.

Ingredients

• 4 Tbsp butter, melted
• 1/3 cup honey
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup unsweetened crushed pineapple, juice drained
• 1-1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1-1/4 cups raisins
• 1/2 cup dried currants
• 3/4 cup dates or prunes, pitted and chopped
• 1-1/2 cups slivered almonds
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 275F. No, that's not a misprint - lower temperatures for this one!
2. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, stirring until it's well-mixed.
3. Line muffin cups with paper cupcake "liners", and fill each one with batter until it's almost full. NOTE - this recipe usually makes more than a dozen, probably closer to a dozen and a half!
4. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Allow to cool before removing the paper liners.

About the only thing that could make these even better would be if I could figure out how to make a paleo version of marzipan icing!

Edit - how about a picture?
