Honey Nut Fruit Muffins

These amazing muffins have no eggs, yeast, or white sugar in them and are pretty low fat. They are very moist and I always get compliments whenever I make them. Plus they make an awesome breakfast! Can be served with cottage cheese mixed with honey.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 18 muffin cups, or line with papers.

Step: 2

Mix the water, honey, dates, and baking soda together in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the dates are soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool. When cool, pour the mixture into a mixing bowl, and combine with orange juice and zest, shredded apples, grapes, cinnamon, and walnuts; stir to combine. Mix in the flour, and spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Step: 3

Bake until set and golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes.

The best flavour of the flour could make a real difference to your bread. Different brands do vary. Great taste or Canadian flours, which are naturally higher in gluten, may give you a better rise than standard dough flours – especially if you’re make wholemeal dough , which not always rise as well as white bread.

To made this in a dough , add all the menus to your breadmaker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

A dough’s first rising can be done in the fridge overnight . 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 start it night before , then clear it off the next day.
