These wholesome date bran muffins are a delightful and nutritious treat, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve even baking.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
Sifting helps to aerate the flour and evenly distribute the baking soda and cinnamon.
Stir in the sugar, chopped dates, and bran into the dry mixture.
Chop the dates into small pieces to ensure even distribution in the muffins.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vegetable oil.
Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
Spoon the batter evenly into a greased or lined muffin pan.
Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full for a nice rise.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the muffins a few minutes before the timer ends to avoid overbaking.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the muffins from becoming soggy.
