Date and Walnut Muffins
These muffins make a tasty and nutritious snack, and are
perfect for lunch boxes. Leave the walnuts out if you prefer, or if anyone your
child will have contact with has a nut allergy.
Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup chopped dates
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C, Gas Mark 4), and grease 2 mini
muffin tins or one standard size muffin tin.
In a large bowl lightly beat the eggs, and then beat in the
sugar.
In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
Tip the dry mixture into the egg mixture and stir to mix - do not overbeat, and
don't worry if you have a few lumps left.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and dates.
Spoon the batter into each muffin cup and bake for
approximately 10 minutes (15 for large muffins). Turn onto a wire rack to cool
through.
