My pick for this week's Wednesday with Donna Hay is Apple Date and Cinnamon Muffins with Maple Oats. Donna's muffin recipes are always winners in my house, so I was happy to make another of her great muffin recipes.
As with most muffin recipes, this one was easy peasy to make - no stand mixer required. The hardest part was chopping the dates and peeling and grating the apples.
I didn't have quite enough maple syrup left, so I used some golden syrup to make up the balance.
The resulting muffins were delicious:
The Medjool dates added a lovely moist squidginess that contrasted with the coarser texture of the oats. The grated apple also provided some welcome moisture to these muffins.
Verdict - I'd make them again.
Sounds like a great muffin recipe - I have a favourite cake with apple and dates so it is a combination I love and maple syrup with oats also sounds delicious
ReplyDeletethis sounds very healthy. dates are very trendy right now! hope it was delish.
ReplyDeleteI really like the sound of this, especially for when you don't have a stand mixer! :)
ReplyDeleteI have some Medjool dates and one apple, I could squeeze a batch of these out for the weekend. The texture inside looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for selecting this. I haven't heard, my hubby rave so much in a while. These were winners in every way.
ReplyDeleteI haven't baked with dates for ages - you have reminded me to do so again! These sound lovely.
ReplyDeleteApple season is just around the corner here in the states, Gaye. I'll make a note of this for future use. I love the combination of Apples and Dates! Thanks so much for sharing, Gaye.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm still on a blogging break but just had to stop over for a visit. I'll be back to blogging on Sunday:)
Thanks for dropping by Louise.
ReplyDeleteI did make your muffin choice as we make muffins each week for a quick weekday breakfast...and these are really good. The ingredients just all work so perfectly together. Great choice, thanks.
