Whole Wheat Dates Muffins recipe with Figs

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Whole Wheat Dates Muffins recipe with Figs and much more. A delicious whole – wheat flour muffins and not to forget the dried fruits and nuts that would make a perfect Breakfast on the go. (MM 120) Never miss breakfast with this just grab and go muffins.

If you have been to Coconut Chutney (didn’t I catch your attention with the blog name!! I know, I was also stumped when I saw it for the first time), you would have seen Hiba’s Egg less Whole Wheat cake. When I saw that a few days back I was thrilled. I had been wanting to try the Whole Wheat Dates Muffins recipe with Figs since ages and this looked like a perfect answer. After lot of troubling her, (now she must be wondering why did she ever reply to my first message), I did finally make these delicious beauties.

Though I have tweaked the recipe a little bit to add figs, nuts and raisins, I stayed true to her other measurements. As my kids love muffins rather than the cake, I decided to make Whole Wheat Dates Muffins recipe with Figs in a muffin tray. You will find her final cake a rich dark brown, where as mine is light brown as I have used figs and raisins apart from the fact that my dates were light in color. I used the Mabroom variety. I am sure if you use only dates, then your final outcome will be rich brown too.

I was little skeptical how my family would react to this Whole Wheat Dates Muffins recipe with Figs, as this was the first time I was trying muffins with Whole Wheat flour. I have always used only the refined flour and though I have bookmarked and written down countless number of recipes, this was a first time that I actually tried making with the wheat flour.  And the RESULT!! …….. !!!!!!!!! The batch got vanished before I knew it. Yes.. Finally I had a more healthier muffin recipe that I could make it anytime. I could take it along for a picnic outside or give it to my kids as an evening snack or simply pop it in their school bags as tiffin. Yummy..

• Allow this to stand on a cooling tray and serve warm.

Until next time,
