    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
    3/4 cup unbleached white flour
    3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
    1 Tbsp baking powder
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp sea salt
    1 tsp ground cinnamon
    Pinch of ground cloves
    1 tsp orange zest
    12 dates, pitted and chopped
    3/4 cup hot water
    1/2 cup orange juice
    1/2 cup plain yogurt
    2 ripe bananas
    3/4 cup maple syrup or concentrated fruit sweetener
    1/3 cup canola oil
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    2 eggs
    1 cup fresh cranberries
    2 cups grated apple
    1/3 cup chopped walnuts

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350�F (175�C). Lightly oil muffin tins or line with paper muffin liners.

    Put flours, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves in a large mixing bowl; stir and set aside.

    Place dates and hot water in blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add juice, yogurt, bananas, syrup, oil and vanilla extract; blend again. Add eggs and cranberries and pulse for a few seconds, just long enough to break up cranberries.

    Add wet ingredients to dry mixture. Fold in grated apple and walnuts and gently mix together using a minimum number of strokes.

    Fill muffin cups to top with batter. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
