Lemon Date Muffins - Healthy image

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!

The muffins were a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was great. I might try adding a little more baking powder next time.
