Aren’t these cute? They are little bites of muffin (I have them in a mini ceramic loaf pan so they may appear bigger than they are). They aren’t very sweet ~ only 1/4 cup of sugar in 48 mini muffins. The dates give them more sweetness, but there is only one or two pieces per muffin.
They would make a great accompaniment to a soup or salad. They’d make a good breakfast or snack, too. They are almost a cross between a biscuit and a muffin. The muffin base would be good with any dried fruit.
