Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup water
• ½ cup honey
• 3 cups self-rising flour
• 1 cup chopped pitted dates
• 2 oranges, zested and juiced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 18 muffin cups, or line with papers.

Step 2

Mix the water, honey, dates, and baking soda together in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the dates are soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool. When cool, pour the mixture into a mixing bowl, and combine with orange juice and zest, shredded apples, grapes, cinnamon, and walnuts; stir to combine. Mix in the flour, and spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Step 3

Bake until set and golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes.
