Date-Nut Muffins
These muffins combine chopped dates and walnuts in a moist batter made from all-purpose and whole wheat flours. Boiling water softens the dates before mixing, resulting in tender, sweet muffins with a pleasant nutty crunch. They bake golden brown and are suitable for breakfast or snacks.
