Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pitted dates, chopped
- 0.75 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
- 0.75 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir together until evenly mixed.
Stir in the chopped dates and nuts, ensuring they are coated with the dry mixture. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these Whole Wheat Date Nut Muffins as a healthy snack or breakfast treat!
