How to Make Apple Date Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, bran, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Stir in the chopped dates.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg substitute (or eggs), sugar, and oil until well combined. Stir in the milk and grated apple.
- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Do not overmix.

- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
