LEMON DATE MUFFINS - HEALTHY
We loved the date and lemon flavor combination in these muffins. A tasty muffin that would be good for breakfast or afternoon tea. They are lightly sweet with nice lemon flavor and bits of dried dates in every bite. The lemon glaze adds an extra touch of lemon flavor and sweetness. Yum!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Place cupcake papers in a muffin pan (cupcake pan). Spray papers with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- 2. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda; and salt in a medium bowl; mix to blend.
- 3. In a separate medium bowl combine remaining ingredients. Mix well to combine.
- 4. Add this to the flour mixture; batter will be dough-like.
- 5. Divide batter in half in the bowl, then 1/2 again (makes it easier to evenly distribute).
- 6. This should fill the paper cups to the top.
- 7. Bake for 25 minutes.
- 8. Test for doneness with a wooden toothpick. Cool completely.
- 9. Eat as is.
- 10. Or, you can frost them. Mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon soft margarine, and enough lemon juice to make spreadable.
- 11. Drizzle or spread on the muffins.
Tips:
- For a tangy twist, use Meyer lemons instead of regular lemons.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make sure your muffins are evenly baked, fill the muffin cups no more than 2/3 full.
- If you want a crispy muffin top, sprinkle the tops with a little sugar before baking.
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
