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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir together until evenly mixed.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these Whole Wheat Date Nut Muffins as a healthy snack or breakfast treat!
