Beat eggs and sugar together, then add remaining ingredients and stir until thoroughly mixed.

Turn the batter into an ungreased 2 qt casserole. Bake at 350F about 30 minutes; the eggs and sugar will bubble while the dates will essentially dissolve into mush when stirred.

Remove from oven and immediately stir with wooden spoon, scraping the gooey mixture from the bottom of the casserole.

Let the batter cool until you can handle it. Coat your palms with cooking spray. Scoop up the batter by heaping tablespoonfuls and form into small (1" diameter) balls. Roll in granulated sugar.

It helps to have a friend handy when rolling out gooballs; one person scoops and molds, the other pours sugar, transfers finished gooballs to a container, and periodically refreshes the palms of the molder with cooking spray.

Leave gooballs out overnight if they seem too squashy; they will air-dry and harden a bit. Not too long, though, or they will turn to rocks.

Pour the extra rolling sugar into the storage container to help absorb extra moisture.

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Prepare a muffin pan by lining it with papers or greasing the wells with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, spices, and xanthan gum.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. Pour this into the dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined. (Without gluten, there is less danger of overmixing and having tough muffins.)

Pour into the prepared muffin pan and bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Combine the sugar and cinnamon in one bowl, melt the butter in another in the microwave.

Brush the muffins' tops with butter, then dip them into the cinnamon sugar mixture.

If you do not have a pastry brush, use a bunched up piece of clean plastic wrap. It will hold melted butter almost as well, and cleanup is as simple as throwing it away.
