Posted on 28. Feb, 2008 by reviews in Foodlicious

Ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup chopped dates

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400F.  Grease 2 mini muffin tins (if you don’t have mini muffin tins use one standard size muffin tin).  In a large bowl lightly beat the eggs.  Mix in the sugar.  In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder and salt and add the dry mixture to egg/sugar mixture.  Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and dates.  Spoon batter into each muffin cup and bake for approximately 10 minutes (15 for large muffins).  Turn onto a wire rack to cool through.
