12 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup strong coffee
  • 5 ounces (3/4 cup) pitted dates
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup safflower oil
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the middle position. Line eighteen muffin cups with paper liners.
  2. 2
    Bring the coffee to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add the dates, remove from the heat, and let cool to room temperature. Drain the dates, discarding the coffee, and chop.
  3. 3
    Whisk together the flours, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, honey, sugar, oil, and milk in a medium bowl. Make a well in the dry ingredients, pour in the wet ingredients, and whisk together. Fold in the dates and walnuts; do not overmix. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling them three-quarters full.
  4. 4
    Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing.
