Ingredients
- 1 cup Pitted dates
- 1 whole Orange (seeded and quartered, peel included)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.33 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Optional: chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the pitted dates and the quartered orange (with the peel) and process until finely chopped and well-blended.
Step 3
Add the egg, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients from the food processor into the dry ingredients. Add the milk and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.
Step 6
If using optional add-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Step 7
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your orange-date muffins!
