Thank you for your quick reply. I happen to have both in my pantry at the moment, now no excuse for not making them.

Hi Josephine, this recipe uses golden syrup but maple would also work.
Hope you enjoy the recipe!!

an absolute pleasure to be involved Angela - and thanks so much for organising and hosting 🙂

You're so right, dates are amazing in puddings and bakes - but for some reason sometimes I feel as though they're very much under-rated! Thankyou for joining in with #BakingCrumbs, it's great to have you there 🙂

Thanks so much for you're lovely comment Caroline 🙂 Hope you do get chance to give them go 🙂

Thanks Kirsty! Hope you managed to make some spooky pumpkins and maybe some muffins as well 🙂

Thank you Angela! I think dates are so good in puddings so I just had to add them in to these muffins 🙂

Thank you Kat 🙂

Thank you Jo!! oh I know - really loving the pumpkin muffin at the mo 🙂

Thanks so much Corina! Yes the dates really add something extra special - really love the texture 🙂

Thanks so much 🙂

Honey would probably work instead of the syrup - or for a little more flavour you could try black treacle xx

Hi Christine! Thanks for pointing that out - I used golden syrup xx
