Bran-Date Muffins

Ingredients:
1/2 cup hot water
1/4 cup chopped dates
1 1/2 cups wheat bran
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup chopped dates

Directions:
Pour water over 1/4 cup dates; set aside.
Heat oven to 400º. Grease bottoms only of 12 medium muffin cups, 2 1/2 × 1
1/4 inches, with shortening, or line with paper baking cups.
Mix wheat bran, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl.
Place date-water mixture, the oil and egg in blender or food processor.
Cover and blend on medium speed about 1 minute or until smooth. Stir date
mixture and buttermilk into flour mixture just until flour is moistened
(batter will be lumpy). Gently stir in 1/2 cup dates. Divide batter evenly
among muffin cups.
Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out
clean. Cool muffins in pan 5 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack. Serve
