Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350F/170C. Oil muffin tin(s) or line with paper liners. You will need enough cups in the tins for about 18 muffins.

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the prune paste or bits, sugar, and coconut milk to to 160F / 71C. Using an immersion blender, blend into a smooth puree. Set aside to cool slightly.

    In a medium bowl, sift together the tapioca starch, rice flour, and baking powder, whisking to combine.

    Crack the eggs into a sieve set over a large bowl. Using a flexible spatula, press the eggs gently but assertively through the sieve. Whisk the prune puree into the eggs, then add the dry ingredients and stir together to form a batter. Stir in the coconut oil until combined.

    Portion the batter into prepared muffin tin(s), using about 75g batter per muffin. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops spring back when pressed.
