Our 2-year-old comes back for seconds, and even my husband-who doesn't normally like muffins-likes these. -Elizabeth Talbot, Lexington, Kentucky

Provided by Sarah Britton

Yield Makes 12 Muffins

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup / 150g whole-grain wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup / 100g rolled oats
1 cup / 150g chopped dates
¼ cup / 60ml coconut oil, melted, plus more for greasing the muffin tin
2 ripe bananas
1 cup / 275g sweet potato purée (from about 1 large roasted sweet potato)
¹⁄8 cup / 80ml pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¾ cup / 185ml plant-based milk of your choice
Handful of chopped raw, unsalted pecans
Zest of 1 orange

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°C / 190°C. Lightly grease a 12-muffin tin with coconut oil and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Add the oats and stir to combine.
  • In a food processor, pulse to combine the bananas, sweet potato purée, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and milk. Pour these wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir to combine, using as few strokes as possible. Fold in the chopped dates and optional add-ins.
  • Drop a few tablespoons of the batter into each muffin cup and bake until they are golden, fragrant, and pass the toothpick test, about 30 minutes. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for 1 month.

Tips:

  • To make sure your muffins are moist and fluffy, use ripe dates and maple syrup.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

These date and maple syrup muffins are a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. They are packed with fiber and nutrients, and they are naturally sweetened with maple syrup. They are also easy to make and can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
