Ingredients

Muffins

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup chopped dates
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup

    Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottoms and sides of 12 regular-size muffin cups with shortening or cooking spray (do not use paper baking cups).
  • 2

  • 3
    Blend cereal mixture in blender on medium speed until smooth; set aside. In medium bowl, stir flour, dates, 1/2 cup brown sugar, the baking soda and salt until well mixed. Pour cereal mixture over flour mixture; stir just until moistened (batter will be thick). Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.

    Bake 14 to 18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately place cookie sheet upside down on muffin pan; turn cookie sheet and pan over to remove muffins. Serve warm if desired.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can make jumbo muffins, similar to the ones you see in the bakery. To make, just grease 6 jumbo muffin cups (3 1/2x2 1/4 inches) with shortening or cooking spray (do not use paper baking cups). Place 2 teaspoons of the topping in each cup before adding batter. Bake as directed.
