Date, Orange and Banana Muffins

Ingredients

150 g plain flour
80 g wholemeal plain flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
160 g pitted dates chopped in TMX for 10 seconds, sp 8
1 medium sized orange
2 eggs
110 g brown sugar
125 mls olive oil
2 medium bananas
125 mls orange juice
1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
pitted dates chopped in half for topping

Method

* Preheat oven 200C
* Put both flours, baking powder, bicarb soda, salt and nutmeg in  *:. Sift together, 10 sec - sp 6
* Put aside in a large bowl and stir through the chopped dates
* Roughly chop orange and place in  *: 10 sec - sp 8. Scrape down  *: and repeat until you have a rough textured puree
* Add eggs, brown sugar, oil, bananas, orange juice and vanilla bean paste/extract. Sp 5 - 15 sec or until well combined
* Pour orange mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. (You could do this in the TMX, I just find I get a better textured muffin doing it by hand)
* The mixture will be quite wet, let it sit for a couple of minutes and it will firm up
* Place batter into greased muffin holes, top with a halved date
* Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden.

Converted from a Belinda Jeffery recipe.
Made 17 medium sized muffins.

The flavour must be amazing with banana, orange, dates, vanilla etc. almost healthy too.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
