SUGAR-FREE DATE NUT MUFFINS
"A delicious, moist muffin that uses dates as the only sweetening. Dates have essentially the same nutritional value as raisins, so these muffins are high in iron." Recipe is credited to Lori Morrison or Missiauga, Ontario and is from the La Leche League International Cookbook "Whole Foods for the Whole Family." Please note that despite the fact that these are technically sugar-free, dates, the sweetener in these muffins, are high in natural sugars, so diabetics, please be aware of this! Cook time includes soak time for dates but only includes cook time for 1 batch of muffins.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas will work well too, but avoid bananas that are too brown or mushy.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. Overfilling can cause the muffins to overflow.
