Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease muffin tins or line them with muffin papers.
- Combine the chopped dates with the warmed milk, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir to break up the chopped dates, which will stick together. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the brown sugar and oil, breaking up any lumps of sugar. Whisk in the eggs.
- Add the milk and date mixture to the bowl and mix to combine well.
- Blend in the baking powder, and stir well. Then fold in the flour and walnuts. Fold until everything is evenly combined, but don't over mix your batter at this point.
- Use an ice cream scoop to fill your muffin cups fairly full. I get 10 muffins from this recipe. Top with an extra sprinkle of chopped walnuts, if you like.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until risen and golden brown. The tops of the muffins should spring back when lightly touched.
- The muffins can be enjoyed warm, or kept for a few days, well covered, at room temperature. Freeze for longer storage.
