good recipe with lots of fiber from the oats and dates. I replaced the brn sugar with glucose because sugar is poison. Trust me . I am a doctor. Glucose is less sweet but you can increase the dates. They are slightly crumbly but the flavor is great and far more nutritious than the normal hite flour and white sugar versions. Great job BRB. hu from Wyoming.
I googled date and oatmeal breakfast muffins and your recipe came up. These are probably the most delicious muffins I’ve ever made. Half are staying at home and the other half to my friend who just had a baby. Thank you so much!
Was camping, only had paper cases so tripled them and set them in a baking tray – used self raising flour as had no baking powder and ran the walnuts and dates through my Nutri bullet – added whole dried cranberries…perfect lakeside breakfast for a day of water skiing…. I found your recipe by googling date, walnut and cranberry muffins and will definitely make again, utterly delicious. Had no buttermilk either so just used half milk half and half full cream and was fine, lovely light, rich, crispy muffins.
Made these today. These are the best muffins I’ve ever had. The prep was fast, easy, and no-fuss. I can always count on your recipes. Thank you for another keeper.
Made muffins today. I used whole wheat flour instead of regular and added additional nuts, I love nuts. Muffins are very good, will make again.
Was the batter supposed to be very runny or did I do something wrong?
Absolutely one of the best muffins I’ve made or had. I try to use oatmeal where possible. One batch I just used dried cranberries, another fresh blueberries. I also subbed almond milk with a little apple cider vinegar vs. the buttermilk. Amazing. Moist, delicious. Thanks.
I baked your muffins, my family loved the fact tht they weren’t too sweet. I added pistachios instead of pecans, since I didn’t have them. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast treat!
I was looking for a moist oatmeal muffin and this combination worked out splendid. This muffins are delicious. I made mini muffins and they took 10 minutes to bake. Just the right size for my toddler. Thanks :)
This is one of my fav’s thx for the idea! it turned out great!:)
I tried the cake and it came out so well. Thank u so much
Possibly my new favorite easy breakfast muffin. I added a few mini chocolate chips the second time, but I think I preferred them your way. So good!!
I’m baking these right now. The batter was amazing. I love the smell that was produced when I spilled the melted butter mix all over the dry ingredients. Man, that sounds kinda dirty. Anyway, thanks for the recipe.
I made these yesterday substituting 1/2 cup of applesauce for the melted butter. They were moist and delicious!
These were so good. I have made these on two different occasions. I froze them for school and breakfasts, and they were still tasty. MY hubby and my kids like them. It’s a keeper! :)
Made these when hubby was home from work for a snow day. Went with ingredients I had already so I used chopped almonds, cranberries, and raisins (no dates) and whole wheat flour. He loved them!
I love dates and cranberries, so I made these tonight – delicious! Thank you for the recipe. I’m sure I’ll be making them again soon.
I made these today, getting ready for the ice storm heading my way, and they are delicious! Definitely a keeper!
I love dates and cranberries so I will definitely be baking these soon.
i made these this morning and my boyfriend as eaten almost all of them already!
