Perfect for breakfast or as a dessert, these muffins are moist and flavorful, making them a favorite for many. Follow this simple recipe to create your own batch of delicious sticky date muffins.

Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1 cup dates
150g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1.25 cups milk (1% fat)
300g
1 egg
50g
1/3 cup butter
70g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix gently to combine.
3. Add Dates:
- Fold in the chopped dates, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
4. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
6. Fill Muffin Tin:
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
7. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Cool:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve:
- Enjoy your sticky date muffins warm or at room temperature. They make a perfect snack or breakfast treat!

Tips:

- Make sure to chop the dates into small pieces to ensure they distribute evenly throughout the muffins.

- For a fluffier texture, sift the self-raising flour before mixing it with the other dry ingredients.

- Room temperature butter and eggs blend more easily with other ingredients, contributing to a smoother batter.

- Avoid over-mixing the batter to prevent the muffins from becoming dense. Mix just until all ingredients are combined.

- If you want a more intense date flavor, soak the chopped dates in hot water for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the batter.

- To enhance the flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.

There you have it – an easy and delicious recipe for sticky date muffins. This treat, with its combination of sweet dates and warm cinnamon, is sure to be a hit. Enjoy these muffins fresh from the oven, and consider sharing them with friends and family. Happy baking!
