Orange and Date Muffins

Zest of 1 orange (I used lemon zest)
Flesh of 1 orange (pith removed as much as you can) (I used 4 mandarins)
1/2 cup tightly packed dates
1 egg
75g butter, melted and cooled
1 banana mashed
1/2 cup sugar
1tsp baking soda
1tsp baking powder
2 cups flour
Milk



Zest the orange, then with sharp knife remove was much pith from the orange as you can. Chop roughly, then put orange, orange zest, sugar, egg and butter into the food processor and give it a good blat.

Put the dates in the microwave on high for 20 seconds to soften them up, add to the food processor with the banana and give em another good blat to chop em up.

Pour the mix into a big bowl. Sift on top the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Add about 1/4 cup of milk and fold gently to combine.

You will need to add more milk, but will depend on how juicy your orange was. The mixture at the end should be very wet, but not runny.

Into muffin tins and into the oven for about 10-15mins (test with skewer).

I made 20 small muffins at 2 pts per muffin.

They are DELICIOUS!
