Οδηγίες
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffin hole with paper cup. Lightly oil the paper cups with oil spray. Set aside.
- Pit the dates if they are not pitted. Weigh them for precision after they have been pitted. Discard the pit. Place the pitted dates in a high-speed blender.
- In a glass jug, add water and almond milk. Microwave for about 80 seconds, until hot.
- In the blender jug where you placed the dates, add the warm liquid mixture and olive oil. Most blender jugs can handle hot liquids. If yours can't, then soak the dates in a glass bowl with the warm liquid. Close the jug or cover the bowl with a plate, set it aside for 10 minutes to soften the dates.
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and coconut sugar if used.
- Blend the date mixture at high speed until smooth and creamy, and pour onto the dry ingredients. Add vanilla extract.
- Use a rubber spatula to gently stir and combine everything until smooth and consistent. If the batter looks too thick and dry, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time.
- Stir in the chocolate chips if used.
- Fill each muffin paper cup evenly with the batter and add a few more chocolate chips on top of each if you like.
- Bake the muffins on the center rack of the oven for 30-35 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs on it, meaning the muffins are baked, but still moist.
- Let it cool on a rack for 2 hours before eating.

Χρειάζεστε μόνο μερικά απλά υλικά για να φτιάξετε αυτή τη συνταγή. Δείτε πώς να τα διαλέγετε και να τα αντικαθιστάτε.

- Ημερομηνίες Medjool – These provide the primary sweetness and moisture for the muffins, creating a naturally sweet and soft crumb. It’s best to weigh them after pitting for the most accurate results.
- Νερό – This helps soften the dates and forms part of the liquid base for the muffin batter. For a delicious twist, you can swap it for warm orange juice if you enjoy the chocolate-orange combination.
- Γάλα αμυγδάλου – This contributes to the liquid content of the muffins, ensuring a moist texture. You can use other plant-based milks like soy milk, coconut milk, or oat milk.
- Ελαιόλαδο ελαφρύ – This adds richness and moisture to the muffins, contributing to their tender texture. Other low-flavor oils, such as melted refined coconut oil or canola oil, also work well.
- Εκχύλισμα βανίλιας – This enhances the overall flavor profile of the muffins, adding a warm and inviting aroma.
- Αλεύρι για όλες τις χρήσεις – This forms the main structure of the muffins, giving them a soft and fluffy consistency. You can also use whole wheat flour or white spelt flour for a slightly different texture. It won’t work with almond flour or oat flour without many other changes.

- Σκόνη κακάο χωρίς ζάχαρη – This is responsible for the rich chocolate flavor in your muffins.
- Μαγειρική σόδα – This reacts with the acidic components in the batter, helping the muffins rise and become light.
- Baking Powder – Another leavening agent, this works alongside baking soda to give the muffins their airy texture and good rise.
- Ζάχαρη καρύδας – This provides additional sweetness to the muffins. It’s an optional ingredient, so you can skip it if you prefer a less sweet muffin with no added sugar. Any granulated sugar like brown sugar or regular sugar also works.
- Κομματάκια σοκολάτας – These add pockets of melted chocolate throughout the muffins for an extra touch of sweetness. You can also use finely chopped walnuts or pecans, or omit them entirely.

Let me share a few more tips for a perfect date chocolate muffins.
- Weigh Dates – Not all Medjool dates are the same size, so weighing your pitted dates for precision is crucial for consistent results in your muffins.
- Ζεστά υγρά – Using warm water and almond milk helps to soften the dates quickly, ensuring they blend into a smooth, creamy mixture for your batter.
- Μίξερ – While most blender jugs can handle warm liquids, if yours can’t, soak the dates in a separate heat-safe bowl with the warm liquid before blending.
- Gentle Mix – When combining the wet and dry ingredients, use a rubber spatula and stir just until everything is incorporated and smooth. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
- Adjust Batter – If your batter appears too thick or dry after mixing, gradually add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches a smooth, consistent texture. This can happen if your dates were particularly absorbent or if some liquid evaporated.
- Προαιρετική γλυκύτητα – If you prefer less added sugar, feel free to skip the coconut sugar. The muffins will still taste good, just with a milder sweetness from the dates.
- Ενίσχυση γεύσης – Stir in chocolate chips or chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to add extra texture and flavor to your muffins.






very good! I baked mine at 350(convection) for 15 minutes and they were DONE done (like started to smell burnt). I have a gas oven so maybe that’s why. but over all VERY yummy, just make sure to check them.
I am so glad they come out so well, true, gas oven are faster!
This recipe was amazing. The hardest part by far was step 11: Let it cool on a rack for 2 hours before eating. I lasted 2 minutes.
I agree! And to be honest, I don’t always wait that long but if you can wait the taste and texture will be the best!
I m from italy and i just made these muffins they are delicious! Thanks for this wonderful recipe ! Ciao
Hello from New Zealand! thanks for baking my recipes from Italy.
Has anyone ever tried this recipe with cassava flour? I am allergic to nearly everything else. TIA
I haven’t baked with cassava flour yet, so I can’t recommend. Hopefully someone reply to you.
Could I possibly sub the olive oil for avocado oil?
You can but remember that avocado oil has a stronger taste, and it could change the overall taste of your muffins.
what a fabulous recipe! I had to mix plain flour, with strong white bread flour…seems to have worked out, they were super tasty, even my partner liked them. so easy to throw together. thank you this amazing recipe….now to try not to demolish the lot!
Σας ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ!
