Apple Date Muffins

Cookin'withGas's Note:

As a child I always loved when my grandmother made her date nut bread...This recipe comes a very close second in favorite recipes from Grammie...However, Grammie didn't know about the food pyramid or healthy eating...I've adapted many of her recipes to include healthier ingredients and this is one of them

I loved the concept of these muffins,but I'm G F so I adapted the flours and wheat bran and used Betty Hagmans four bean flour mix for muffins and they turned out Great The flours are comp to regular flour
