Orange & Date Muffins
"These are so good. My favourite breakfast muffin. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do, served hot or cold with sweet butter. What could be better with a cup of hot tea."

5 BRIGHT Star Kato! So moist and flavorful. I added a couple tablespoons of flax seed meal to the batter and substituted 1/2 of white flour for 1/2 cup of white whole wheat flour. The recipe made 6 giant muffins, which I baked at 375 for about 22 minutes. Definitely a keeper. THANKS! -
These are definitely OUTSTANDING! I really loved the combination of orange & date. I didn't have any candied orange peel, so I plugged that into ZAAR search, came up with a recipe & made my own [still have to rate that recipe!]. A very outstanding recipe, Baby Kato ~ Many thanks for posting it! -
These are outstanding! So cool to put a chopped up orange, peel and all into the blender. I thought it might be a tad bitter from that but it wasn't. I followed the recipe exactly but I used pecans and put them on top. The only problem I had was my fault...they looked done so I took them out and after they had cooled a bit tried one and it was still uncooked in the middle so I put them back in the oven and it worked out fine. I enjoyed these warm, cold and with and without butter. Very nice orange flavor and soft muffin texture. The dates were a bonus but it would probably be good without them too and I might try adding chocolate chips instead of dates next time. Thanks for a keeper recipe! Made for Zaar Tag.

I am a very lucky lady. I recently moved to a very small town in New Brunswick, Canada with my wonderful husband who is my best friend.
Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed.
A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
