Date and Maple Syrup Muffins image

I made these today, and we're enjoying them very much. Not having any wholemeal SR flour, I used white cake flour. Recipe is from Australian Good Taste magazine, November 1998.

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

melted butter, for greasing
100 g butter, cubed
200 g pitted dried dates, finely chopped
125 ml pure maple syrup
125 ml water
250 ml milk
400 g wholemeal self-rising flour
1 teaspoon mixed spice
2 eggs, lightly whisked
60 ml pure maple syrup, extra
extra butter, at room temperature to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°C Brush 12 medium, 80mls (1/3 cup) muffin pans with the melted butter to grease.
  • Place the butter, dates, maple syrup and water in a small saucepan. Cover and heat over medium heat for 6 minutes, stirring Occasionally, or until the butter has melted. (See microwave tip at end of directions.)
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the milk.
  • Sift together flour and mixed spice in large bowl and return husks to bowl.
  • Add date mixture and eggs and stir with a large metal spoon until just combined. Don't overmix - the mixture should be lumpy.
  • Spoon mixture evenly into the greased muffin pans and bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until browned and cooked through when tested with a skewer.
  • Turn muffins onto a wire rack and brush the tops with some of the extra maple syrup. Serve with the extra butter and drizzled with the remaining extra maple syrup.
  • Notes & tips.
  • Note: These muffins are great eaten hot from the oven, but are just as delicious at room temperature. They will keep well in an airtight container for up to 2 days. To reheat, place on baking tray, cover with foil and place in oven preheated to 180°C for 10 minutes.
  • Microwave tip: place butter, dates, maple syrup and water in a medium heat-resistant, microwave-safe bowl or jug. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes on Medium-High/650watts/70% or until the butter has melted.

The muffins didn't rise very much. I'm not sure why.

I found the muffins to be too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less maple syrup.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover dates. I always have a few dates in my pantry and these muffins are a great way to use them up.
