"These are delicious! I got the recipe from an old '70s high-fiber cookbook. Try changing the nuts, or substituting raisins or apricots for the dates!"

The muffins came out too dry and overcooked at 25 minutes. I liked the taste especially after I made a batch of frosting and applied liberally.

This recipe needs a little fine tuning. First up, the mixture is rather dry for a muffin mixture and needs more fluid. With the current amounts the mixture does not spread to fill the muffin tin. Second, due to the dry mix, 25 minutes is too long and the muffins tend to burn. Otherwise the taste of these muffins is fantastic so I would persevere with this recipe.
