These muffins are a delightful combination of citrusy orange and sweet dates, perfect for a wholesome breakfast or a quick snack.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Cut the orange into several pieces and remove any seeds.
Cutting into smaller pieces helps blend the orange more effectively.
Place the orange pieces into a blender and blend until finely ground.
Add a splash of water if the orange is too dry to blend smoothly.
Add the dates, egg, and butter to the blender and blend until combined.
Ensure the dates are evenly distributed in the mixture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps.
Pour the orange mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
Overmixing can make the muffins dense, so mix lightly.
Grease a muffin tin and fill each cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
Using a scoop can help evenly distribute the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Check the muffins a minute or two before the timer ends to avoid overbaking.
Let the muffins cool slightly before serving.
Cooling helps the muffins set and makes them easier to remove from the tin.
