Walnut-Date Muffins
Description
I have no idea where this recipe is from, but when I googled it, it appears as though this was the source. Since we always have dates in the house, I thought I’d give it a try – and they were very tasty, especially served warm with a frittata for breakfast. The girls tried them because they had dates in them.
Ingredients
Walnut-Date Muffins
3/4 c. EACH regular flour AND whole wheat flour – I’ve also used spelt flour
1/3 c. packed brown sugar
1 t. cinnamon AND 1/4 t. EACH of nutmeg and ground cloves
1 t. baking soda AND 1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. milk AND 1/3 c. molasses
6 T. canola oil AND 2 eggs
1 c. EACH finely chopped walnuts AND pitted and chopped dates
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 and grease a 12-muffin pan. In a large bowl, combine the flours thru salt and set aside. In another bowl, whisk together and milk, molasses, oil and eggs, and in a third bowl combine the walnuts and dates – chopped dates are very sticky so take the time to separate them a bit.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined and then fold in the walnut-date mixture.
Evenly fill the muffin cups and bake for about 15 minutes until the centers are set – I found that 15 minutes was perfect.
