  2. In a large bowl mix together the eggs, coconut oil, honey, lemon juice, zest, vanilla, dates and salt.
  3. Combine the coconut flour and baking soda and whisk this into the wet ingredients until there are no lumps. Let the mixture rest for 1 min then mix again.
  4. Grease a muffin tray very well with olive oil or use paper muffin cases and spoon the mixture in the greased muffin holes as soon as you can or else the coconut flour will make the mixture too thick
  5. Sprinkle a little shredded coconut on each muffin top.
  6. Bake for approx 15 minutes check by poking dried spaghetti into it and it should come out clean. Watch it does not burn on the sides.
  7. Remove from muffin holes and cool
