“We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.” -13th Article of Faith

Date Nut Muffins

This recipe was created by Mitzi and it's delicious. She made the muffins from all the ingredients in your food storage staples. She shared this at our Emergency Preparedness Night. Thanks Mitzi!


DATE NUT MUFFINS
1 dozen muffins

Nut Streusel:
1/3 cup sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 Tbl oil
1 Tbl molasses
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1 1/2 cups (7 1/2 oz) whole wheat flour
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
3 Tbl dry milk
1 cup water
3 Tbl molasses
6 Tbl oil
1/2 cup chopped dates
optional: 1/2 tsp. vanilla or maple extract

Grease or spray a 12 cup muffin pan and preheat the oven to 375. Combine all streusel ingredients until uniformly combined. Set aside. Whisk together dry ingredients, then in a separate bowl whisk together wet ingredients. combine these two mixtures just until almost smooth. Scoop into prepared muffin pan and sprinkle nut streusel evenly over to cover the tops. Bake for 20-25 minutes until browned around the edges and insert a toothpick in the center to see if it comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for five minutes, then finish cooling on a wire rack.
