Date Chocolate Chip Cupcakes/Muffins

9 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • Heat oven to 375° than combine
  • 1 cup Boiling water
  • 1 8oz packets Chopped sugared dates
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 stick butter, 1 cup of sugar and 2 eggs and cream together than add to this mixture
  • 1 3/4 cups All purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine the above mentioned ingredients into a large measuring cup and let stand until cool.
  2. 2
    In a larger bowl or mixer bowl combine
  3. 3
    Blend all together than add the dates and water mixture, (do not drain liquid) into dry ingredients.
  4. 4
    To this you will add while slowly mixing, 3cups any flavor or combination of chocolate chips. (White chocolate is my favorite and I have even added toffee bits) Stir until evenly distributed in batter.
  5. 5
    Use cupcake papers and distribute them into the cupcake pans. They come out much easier this way because the chocolate tends to ooze out the sides. Fill 3/4 full than sprinkle the tops with sugar cinnamon mixture atop each one. This adds a crispy crunch to the cupcakes along with the moist inner filling. Bake for approximately 20 min. Or until the tops spring back.
