Well, honestly I didnt know how to name these. I referred the recipe here and made few modifications to it. I usually have so many constraints while baking eggless, butterless, less sugar and wheat flour if possible. All because I need a low fat version. This cake suited my constraints and so I wanted to try it. Also, you will be more than surprised that I dont like dates. I cant eat more than 2 pieces at once. But I just loved these.
1. Dates - 1/4 cup packed
2. Milk - 1/4 cup for soaking dates and 1/4+1/8 cup
3. Granulated Sugar - 1/4 cup - 3tbsp
4. Honey - 3 tbsp
5. Maida - 3/4 cup
6. Wheat flour - 1/4 cup
7. Curd - 1tbsp
8. Baking powder -1/2tsp
9. Baking soda - 1/2tsp
10. Vanilla essence - 1/4 tsp
11. Oil - 4tbsp
12. Almonds and Walnut chopped for topping
1. Sieve the flours, baking powder and soda and set aside.
2. In 1/4 cup hot milk soak the dates for 10 mins and grind to smooth paste with the milk after cooling down. Do not add water and make it runny. It will be a bit thick paste.
3. In a bowl, take sugar, oil, dates paste, remaining milk (1/4+1/8 cup), curd, honey and vanilla essence. Mix well while adding each ingredient. Make sure the sugar has dissolved well.
4. Preheat oven to 180 deg C
5. Meanwhile, mix the dry and wet ingredients together in 2 or 3 parts and mix well till you get a semi runny batter. Add 1 or 2 tbsp of milk extra if the batter is thick.
6. Grease the liners and spoon the mixture to the moulds/muffin pan. I had some silicone moulds also so made use of them too. Add in the nuts now on top of the batter. Do not fill the batter more than 3/4th of the mould as it will rise.
7. Once the pre-heating is done, bake them for 15 mins. The ones in silicone moulds took 5 mins longer. Test if properly baked by inserting a toothpick.
8. Let them cool down and you can enjoy!
1. If you are sweet toothed, add in more sugar.
2. You can use butter also as in the original recipe.
3. See if the muffins are done in 15 mins. If not keep them for extra 5 mins. Test with tooth pick.
4. Do not leave the batter to sit for long time after mixing.
5. I got 4 muffins using the moulds and 2 &1/2 (small one :) ) in the silicone moulds.
