Date Muffins

A variation of an old family recipe and my daughter’s favorite. These are addictive if you love dates! Use fresh whole dates for best results.

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease or line 10 cups of a muffin tin.

Step: 2

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Add dates, separating the pieces as you drop them into the flour mixture. Mix to coat.

Step: 3

Whisk buttermilk, egg, and butter together in a small bowl. Fold buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until just combined.

Step: 4

Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin.

Step: 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the largest muffin comes out clean, about 15 minutes.

To make this in a breadmaker , add all the ingredients to your breadmaker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

A bread first rising can be make in the fridge 24 hours . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great timesaver , as you can work it night before , then clear it off the next day.
