Sugar-free Date Nut Muffins
"A delicious, moist muffin that uses dates as the only sweetening. Dates have essentially the same nutritional value as raisins, so these muffins are high in iron." Recipe is credited to Lori Morrison or Missiauga, Ontario and is from the La Leche League International Cookbook "Whole Foods for the Whole Family." Please note that despite the fact that these are technically sugar-free, dates, the sweetener in these muffins, are high in natural sugars, so diabetics, please be aware of this! Cook time includes soak time for dates but only includes cook time for 1 batch of muffins.
