They muffins were amazingly easy to make. I'm still getting used to my new to me food processor, so I enjoyed seeing what it could do. Since I was careless about filling the muffin tins and filled them too full, my muffins were not very beautiful. They still tasted very good, though. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.

I really enjoyed making these muffins in my food processor went very smoothly and these muffins are very delicate in taste and texture the date and orange is not overwhelming at all. Made exactly according to directions yield was 6 small and 6 large muffins as in photos they could easily be iced with a cream cheese orange icing for a Sunday morning brunch or just a treat with Coffee or Tea. I will definitely make again these lovely muffins again Irmgard, thank you for posting.

<p>I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <br /><img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!</p>
