Orange Date Muffins

*Casie Here*

For this recipe I used this one HERE from Weelicious, but I doubled the recipe you see below. I like to make more as long as I have everything out anyway. You can always freeze muffins if you don't want them all right away.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1 egg (I used the chia seed egg replacement)
• 1/2 cup butter, melted (Earth Balance)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup dates, chopped (for the doubled batch it was about 10 dates)
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Mix the first 4 ingredients in a bowl.

3. Sift the dry ingredients together into a separate bowl.

4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients with the dates and walnuts.

5. Divide the batter between 12 greased or paper lined muffin tins and bake for 15 minutes. 

6. Cool and serve.

Chia seed goop instead of egg. (1 TBS. Chia Seed & 3 TBS. water mix let sit about 5-10 mins. = 1 'egg')

 What the goop looks like.

These are not very sweet at all. I really like them though. They are moist and dense. Very, very good. 

 They didn't last very long.
