I have not made these muffins yet. I am excited to try them tho!
Thank you.

It does still work without the water though–I’ve been doing it that way all along, and so have all the other people who I’ve given the recipe to! It makes for a more dense muffin, I guess.

Karen made these and wondered about cooking the red river cereal as there is no water listed in the ingredients. The original recipe says 1 1/2 cups hot water that you cook the dates, br sugar and lemon juice in, just thought you might like to correct that!

I love how you tweaked the muffins to make them your own, that’s what it’s all about. I’m going to try dried cranberries and/or apricots, nutmeg, and cinnamon in the future. Also, I must say I love being referred to as FCP…abbreviation surely signfies the journey to becoming a household name. See you this weekend…

They were totally great. I halved the recipe. That was stupid. Now I have to make another batch today. They disappeared too fast…

I used wheat bran, Red River cereal, and milk soured with vinegar. I omitted the pecans. I soaked the chopped dates in some warm water for 5 mins or so before adding them to the saucepan. That seemed to help make them nice and soft in the muffins.

I’m 2-for-2 with FCP recipes now. That means (for those other than Jen who bump on this comment) that the FCP granola recipe also proved stellar by me.
