Recipe for Blueberry Muffins
From Straight Up Food by Cathy Fisher, page 48.
8 ounces pitted dates( about 12 Medjool dates), chopped
1-1/4 cups unsweetened nondairy milk
1-1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup dry/uncooked millet
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cup fresh or unthawed frozen blueberries (to go into batter)
2 ounces walnuts, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup fresh or unthawed frozen blueberries (to go on top)
Place the dates and nondairy milk into a small bowl, and set aside for at least 15 mintues (so the dates can soften).
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Grind the rolled oats and millet into flour with a blender (30 to 40 seconds; millet is hard). Transfer to a medium bowl, and whisk in the baking powder and cardamom.
Pour the soaking dates and milk into the blender, and blend until smooth.
Pour the date mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, add the applesauce and lemon zest, and mix just until all the dry ingredients have disappeared (the batter will be thick).
Gently fold in the blueberries and chopped walnuts. Don't overmix or you'll have purple muffins.
Fill each muffin cup with an even amount of batter. Use the 1/2 cup of extra blueberries to top each muffin with a few just before baking (make sure to push them in at least halfway so they won't roll off during rising).
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the tops have begun to brown. (these are hearty muffins, so they will not rise very much.) Set aside to cool before serving.
