Ingredients
- 1 medium orange
- 1/2 cup dates, cut up
- 1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups sifted flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut whole, unpeeled orange into 8 sections and chop in a food processor. Add the chopped oranges to the dates, nuts, melted butter, orange juice, sugar, and egg.
Sift the dry ingredients together and then stir into the wet ingredients until just blended. Pour into paper-cup lined mini-muffin tins, filling them 3/4 full. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until puffed and firm in the center. Cool before serving.

Just made these for my son's little league team tomorrow morning- they're still cooling! They're not bad now so I'm sure they'll be pretty good after sitting overnight (not an eat-hot-with-butter muffin, more of a snack muffin if that makes sense, but the point I wanted to make is that 25 - 30 minutes is way too long! Maybe in a regular muffin tin that would work, but in a mini-muffin tin (as specified it should be closer to 15 minutes. Happy baking!

I served these to rave reviews for a moms' coffee. They are a great size for people to eat while standing up and they have a wonderful fresh flavor and moist, chewy texture. I made them the day before and served them with cream cheese in case they had dried out a bit--as it turns out they had not dried out, but some folks still enjoyed them with the cream cheese!
