Woah, I know I'm supposed to write a few crazy paragraphs about how you should totally try my recipe- but I, for one, never read these things nor am I interested in writing them. So, without further ado, let's look at these delicious, airy and nutritious muffins!

5. 1/2 cup chopped, soft dates

6. 1/4 cup sugar (any kind, but to keep things healthy lets go with coconut or brown)
