Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 orange, washed, seeds removed, and cut into large pieces

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

1 egg

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup honey

1 cup chopped dates

1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 12 cup muffin tin. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Place orange in a food processor. Pulse until broken down into a chunky puree. Add orange juice, egg, butter, and honey. Blend for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until almost smooth. Pour orange mixture into flour. Mix until just combined. Stir in dates. Divide batter among muffin tins. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake muffins until a cake tester comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
