Recipe for Date Bread Muffins

I recently made some delicious date muffins by modifying a date bread recipe in my old LLL cookbook.

1. I briefly boiled:

• 1 1/2 cups of dates in 
• 1 1/2 cups of water.

2. To this I added 2 tablespoons of butter





3. When that mixture had cooled a bit, I added dry ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 2 3/4 cups of flour (as usual, I mixed together different types of flour to increase the protein and the fiber content: 3/4 cup spelt, 1/2 soy flour, 1 tablespoon each of psyllium and wheat germ, unbleached white flour making up the rest.)
• 1 cup (not the 1 1/2 cups called for) of white sugar
• 1 egg

After mixing it well, I spooned the mixture into 20 muffin tins. The date muffins tasted delicious - and, in my opinion, they were sweet enough!
