We loved the date and lemon flavor combination in these muffins. A tasty muffin that would be good for breakfast or afternoon tea. They are lightly sweet with nice lemon flavor and bits of dried dates in every bite. The lemon glaze adds an extra touch of lemon flavor and sweetness. Yum!

Tips:

  • If your dates are dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using.
  • Be sure to drain the dates well before adding them to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough muffins.
