Ingredients

2 cups all-bran cereal
3/4 cup boiling water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons dark molasses
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon orange zest, grated
1 large egg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dates, chopped
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped

Steps:

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease one 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, combine bran cereal, water and oil, stirring until bran softens.
In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk, Orange Juice, molasses, honey, orange zest, and egg until blended.
In a small bowl, combine flours, baking soda and salt. Add buttermilk mixture to bran, stirring to combine. Add flour mixture, dates and walnuts to bran mixture, stirring just until flour is moistened.
Spoon into muffin cups, and bake until top springs back when lightly pressed, about 18 minutes.
Let cool in pan 5 minutes before removing to wire rack.

Tips:

Use fresh, pitted dates for the best flavor. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before using.
Be sure to chop the nuts finely so that they distribute evenly throughout the muffins.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
For a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
These muffins are best served warm out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
