If your dates are hard, or if your blender is old, I recommend soaking the dates in hot water for about 5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. If you have an older or less powerful blender, you may want to blend the dates with the wet ingredients first before adding the oats!
Pour or scoop into 12 muffin cups (I use a silicone muffin pan), and bake on 350ºF for about 18-20 minutes.
Poke with a toothpick to check for doneness (toothpick should come out 90% clean) - let cool slightly and serve with butter!
Notes
If your dates are super hard or old, I recommend soaking them in hot water before adding to the blender!Freeze 'em! You can definitely freeze these and store them for later. I like to chomp them before a run since oats are really easy to digest.Please note: the original version of this recipe called for 2 eggs. After additional testing, I have increased this to 3 eggs. This results in muffins that are lighter and fluffier!
