Eggless dates muffins recipe – easy and healthy eggless muffins using whole wheat flour or atta along with dates. These soft and delicious dates muffins are made without eggs or butter. Also, they are loaded with the goodness of dates or khajoor.
Inspite of dates being healthy, I am not too fond of eating dates by themselves. Instead I look for ways to incorporate it in my diet in the form of peanut and dates ladoo or as a simple dates milkshake.
For a long time, I have been thinking of using dates in a baked goodie. Finally I made this dates muffins a couple of days back.
As a matter of fact, I recently switched to using only whole wheat flour for cakes and cookies instead of all-purpose flour or maida. So I used atta for these muffins too. Although they are made from whole wheat flour, these muffins are soft and delicious and you can never guess that healthy dates are hidden in these muffins. Additionally, its a good snack for kids too.
Since dates are naturally sweet, you need lesser quantity of refined sugar or raw cane sugar to be used in this muffin. For other baking recipes do check out whole wheat marble cake | eggless coconut muffins | eggless banana chocolate brownies.

Hi, I have only cold pressed mustard oil at present. It’s almost odorless. Can I use that? Also, can I substitute milk with plain water?

I suggest you not to use mustard oil as it may impart its flavor to the muffins. As for substituting milk with water, I haven’t tried it and also you will miss out the flavor of the muffin. But if you want to replace milk with water, you can do so but just add extra 1 tbsp of oil.
