    The recipe repeats itself about putting the dates, boiling water,corn oil and vanilla in a bowl…I figure the medium bowl is best so the dry ingredients could be added.
    Not a big deal, big I wanted you to know because the muffins sound fabulous and sip one people won’t make them if they are confused.
    I’m going to make a loaf of quick bread with this recipe, slice and toast it in the morning. Then scheme are it with philly cream cheese…HEAVENLY!

    Thank you! This is an excellent recipe! Yummy. Just made some and I can’t stop eating them. I will say that it only made 8 standard-size muffins. So unless you have really tiny muffin tins, I’m not sure how you get 12 out of this recipe. But it doesn’t matter, because they taste fabulous!
