Preheat oven to 180/fan 160/ gas4 Lightly grease a regular 12 hole muffin tin Put the dates in a saucepan with 250ml water and bring to the boil. Add the bicarb and the butter. Stir to dissolve, then remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly. Whizz in a processor to form a fairly rough puree. Sift the flour into a large bowl, stir in the caster sugar, then the vanilla, eggs and date puree until just combined. Divide among the muffin tins and bake for 20 mins. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
put the butter, muscovado sugar, golden syrup and cream in a pan over a low heat. Stir to combine, then increase the heat and simmer for 10 mins until thickened. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Serve each muffin with a dollop of cream and drizzled with toffee sauce.

Show more commentsI only used 100 grams sugar to lessen the richness and the muffins were much nicer to eat as a treat with coffee. They’re like a restaurant dessert with the full whack of sugar and the sauce. Delicious.
Absolutley fantastic recipe this one - made it for a muffin club at work and it's one of the most popular recipes I've done so far. People commented that the sweetness of the toffee sauce married the muffin itself perfectly! Well done! Simon
