Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix gently to combine.
- Fold in the chopped dates, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- 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.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 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!
