Date Walnut Muffins

• 1 cup strong coffee
• 5 ounces (3/4 cup) pitted dates
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup safflower oil
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1. Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F with a rack in the middle position. Line eighteen muffin cups with paper liners.
2. Bring the coffee to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add the dates, remove from the heat, and let cool to room temperature. Drain the dates, discarding the coffee, and chop.
3. Whisk together the flours, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, honey, sugar, oil, and milk in a medium bowl. Make a well in the dry ingredients, pour in the wet ingredients, and whisk together. Fold in the dates and walnuts; do not overmix. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling them three-quarters full.
4. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing.
