Breakfast to go – muffins! Having a batch of muffins made for the week ensures you have a quick and healthy breakfast ready or an afternoon snack calling your name. The dates and raisins make the muffins moist and add huge flavour. I love the addition of the the lemon and orange zest – it just brightens up the flavour of the fruits.

You can never have enough muffin recipes and it is good to switch it up once in a while and try something new. I was at camp and looking to make muffins and didn’t have much in the pantry so I had to get creative with what I had – dates, raisins, oatmeal. I hope you enjoy the results! I know we enjoyed our lunch of warm muffins with a slice of cheddar cheese.

Just a note, make sure that you don’t use fat-free yogurt in this recipe as it won’t work as well as the full fat version.  I also recommend that you don’t use paper liners, just spray your muffin tins and bake them right in the tins- I find that the oatmeal really makes it difficult to peel away the liner.
