Lemon Date Muffins - Healthy image

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!

I found these muffins to be a bit dry. I would add more moisture next time, perhaps by adding some yogurt or applesauce.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I made these muffins gluten-free by using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. They turned out just as good, if not better.
