Date and banana muffins
These date-banana muffins are wonderfully moist, naturally sweet, and full of flavor. Ripe bananas, tender dates, and crunchy walnuts are combined with a hint of cinnamon to create a delicious muffin batter. Baked right in a WECK jar, they can be enjoyed warm or preserved for a longer shelf life. A delicious snack for breakfast, on the go, or as a sweet dessert.

Preparation
Step 1
Remove the oven rack and preheat the oven to 180° C (gas mark 2–2½). Grease the jars. Melt the butter in a saucepan.
Step 2
Peel the bananas and mash them with a fork in a bowl. Coarsely chop the walnuts. Cut the dates into small pieces. Mix both with the bananas and the melted butter. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and eggs. Mix everything together.
Step 3
Pour the muffin batter into the prepared canning jars and bake for about 20 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick. Remove from the oven and let the jars cool on a wire rack.
Step 4
TIP: Serve the muffins lukewarm! To extend their shelf life, clean the rims of the jars and seal them with a Preserving ring, glass lid, and canning clips. Process in a water bath heated to 100° C for 30 minutes. Remove and let cool. Remove the clips.
