Date and Plum Muffins (no sugar)

1 cup organic rolled oats 
1 cup water

6 medjool pitted dates chopped

6 prunes chopped

1/2 cup water

1/2 tsp of cinnamon

1/4 tsp of turmeric

1/4 tsp allspice

1/4 tsp ginger

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup organic white flour

1/3 cup broken walnuts

2 eggs

1 cup full fat yogurt

1/3 cup grape seed oil

Put oats in pan with 1 cup water. Add chopped dates and prunes. Simmer for 20 minutes until water is almost absorbed. Add half a cup of water and continue to simmer until oats are soft.

In a bowl add flour, mix in spices and baking soda. Add and mix broken walnuts. Add oat mixture, yogurt and oil. Blend together. Add eggs breaking up yolks into whites and blend into the muffin mixture thoroughly but not in a mixer or fast mixing blender.

Spoon into paper lined muffin cups. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.

These muffins are made like a breakfast without sugar, although dates and plums are high in glycemic sweetness,  I think they may be still better for you than the store bought muffins. As well as the organic oats there's the added protein of eggs, walnuts and yogurt. 

I don't count calories but I do count carbs so would only have one of these muffins for breakfast or snack. It is food at least.
