DATE MUFFINS



Date Muffins image

Whole-wheat flour keeps these nutty muffins on the healthy side, while hints of coffee and honey make them extra delicious.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Yield Yields 18 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup strong coffee
5 ounces pitted Medjool dates
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup safflower oil
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
  • Bring coffee to simmer in small saucepan. Add dates, remove from heat, and cool to room temperature. Drain and chop dates. Reserve liquid for another use.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flours, salt, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, honey, sugar, oil, and milk.
  • Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold in dates and walnuts. Fill muffin cups three-quarters full.
  • Bake 20 minutes, or until golden brown and toothpick inserted into center of muffin comes out clean.
  • Cool 5 minutes in pan before removing.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe dates: Using ripe dates will give your muffins a naturally sweet and sticky texture. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before using.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor is the easiest way to chop the dates and oats. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop them by hand, but it will take a little longer.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups almost to the top: This will help the muffins rise evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

Date oat muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try adding different spices, nuts, or seeds to the batter. You can also drizzle them with a glaze or frosting after they have cooled. With so many variations, you're sure to find a date oat muffin recipe that you love.
