3/4 cup (115g) yellow cornmeal

1 Tbsp (15g) baking powder

1 tsp (4g) baking soda

1 tsp (6g) sea salt

1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon

Pinch of ground cloves

1 tsp (2g) orange zest (grated peel)

12 dates, pitted and chopped

3/4 cup (180mL) hot water

1/2 cup (120mL) orange juice

1/2 cup (120g) plain yogurt

2 ripe bananas

3/4 cup (180mL) maple syrup or concentrated fruit sweetener

1/3 cup (80mL) canola oil

1 tsp (5mL) vanilla extract

2 eggs

1 cup (150g) fresh cranberries

2 cups (260g) grated apple

1/3 cup (40g) 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.
