Feel Good Fruit Muffins
These were a staple in my baking routine when I had small children. They loved them and I loved them as did any visitor lucky enough to get one.

- 340g wholemeal flour
- 6tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 100g sultanas
Combine dates, honey and bicarb soda in a small pan and cover with 1 cup of water. Bring this to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes then set aside to cool.
Sift the dry ingredients together into a bowl and stir in the apples and sultanas. Add the cooled dates and orange zest and juice. Mix until just combined.
Spoon into 12 large muffin cases and bake at 180 degrees Celsiuis for 25-30 minutes.
