Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly oil muffin tins or
line with paper muffin liners.
Put flours, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and
cloves in a large mixing bowl; stir and set aside.
Place dates and hot water in blender or food processor and blend until
smooth. Add juice, yogurt, bananas, syrup, oil and vanilla extract; blend again. Add eggs and
cranberries and pulse for a few seconds, just long enough to break up cranberries.
Add wet ingredients to dry mixture. Fold in grated apple and walnuts
and gently mix together using a minimum number of strokes.
Fill muffin cups to top with batter. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a
toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
