Ingredients:
- 1 cup dates, chopped
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup prunes, chopped
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Fruit Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, chopped dates, raisins, and prunes. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the fruit is softened. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until it melts completely. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
-
-
Prepare the Oven and Muffin Cups: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your muffin pan by greasing and flouring the cups, or line them with paper liners to make cleanup a breeze.
-
Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring just until combined.
-
Combine with Fruit Mixture: Gently fold the cooled fruit mixture into the batter. Make sure the fruit is evenly distributed throughout. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
-
Fill the Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
-
Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Sugarless Fruit Nut Muffins are not only a healthier alternative but also incredibly delicious with their natural sweetness and nutty crunch. Enjoy them fresh from the oven or as a make-ahead snack for busy mornings. Bon appétit!
