Steps:
- Toss the dates with 1/2 cup of the all-purpose flour.
- In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, process the mixture until evenly chopped.
- Add the orange and process until finely chopped.
- Add the orange juice, eggs and butter and process until blended.
- Stir together the whole wheat flour, remaining all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Add the date mixture and process just until moistened but not overmixed.
- Spoon into large greased for paper-lined muffin cups, filling three-quarters full.
- Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops are firm to the touch.
Tips:
- Use ripe dates: Look for dates that are plump and have a deep, caramelized color. Avoid dates that are dry or wrinkled.
- Soak the dates: Soaking the dates in hot water for 10-15 minutes will help to soften them and make them easier to blend.
- Use a food processor: A food processor is the best way to achieve a smooth and creamy date paste. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender, but it may take a little longer to get the desired consistency.
- Add some sweetness: If you find that your date paste is too tart, you can add a little bit of honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to taste.
- Get creative with your add-ins: You can add a variety of different ingredients to your date muffins, such as nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.
Conclusion:
Date muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast treat. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Date muffins are a great way to use up ripe dates and are a good source of fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. They are also naturally sweetened, making them a healthier choice than many other muffins.
