Recipe Introduction


This recipe originally came out of my mom's recipe file. I vaguely remebered the recipe. Her handwritten copy used all white flour and raisins instead of dates. I'm not a big fan of raisins in muffins, so I substituted dates and adjusted the flour amount with white and whole wheat flour. They came out moist and delicious.





List of Ingredients



• 1 cup all purpose flour
  
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  
• 1/3 cup quick cook or old fashioned oatmeal, uncooked

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
  
• 1 egg
  
• 3/4 cup milk
  
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
  
• 1/2 cup chopped dates
