Yield Makes 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 16

STREUSEL TOPPING
2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons rolled oats
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
MUFFINS
9 ounces whole Medjool dates, pitted (about 14 dates or 2 cups)
3/4 cup boiling water
2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • To make the streusel topping:
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, and pecans. Using a fork, cut in butter until well combined and mixture begins to hold together a bit. Set aside.
  • To make the muffins:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 12-cup muffin tin. Place the dates in a shallow bowl (in a single layer if possible), pour the boiling water over them, and soak for 15 minutes. Transfer the dates and soaking liquid to a food processor and puree until almost smooth but a few pea-sized fruit pieces remain. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and brown sugar. With the motor running, mix in the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla. Add half of the flour mixture and mix until moistened. Follow with the date puree, and when thoroughly combined, mix in remainder of the flour mixture. Scrape down the sides and give a final stir with a spatula to make sure all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Divide the batter among the muffin cups. Top with the streusel and press down gently to adhere. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

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

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover dates. They're also a good source of fiber and potassium.

I'm not a big fan of dates, but these muffins were surprisingly good. The dates added a nice sweetness and moisture.

Not a fan. The muffins were dry and crumbly.

Easy to make and delicious! I used dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet, and they turned out great.

These muffins were a hit with my family! They're moist and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness. I love that they're made with whole wheat flour, so I can feel good about giving them to my kids.
