Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups pitted Medjool Dates about 12 ounces, divided
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder aluminum-free
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- In a blender jar, add 2 cups of dates, milk and baking soda. Set aside and allow the dates to steep for about 15 minutes or until cooled. Chop the remaining ½ cup of dates and set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with 12 parchment paper liners.
- After soaking the dates, blend for 1 minute. Add the egg, oil, and vanilla extract and blend again for 30 more seconds.
- Pour the date mixture on top of the dry ingredients and fold until there are no streaks of flour remaining. Fold in the chopped walnuts and chopped dates.
- Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups.
- Bake the muffins for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the muffin liners.
