Directions:
Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick coating. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour, oats, baking powder and baking soda. Stir in 1/4 cup of the dates, the almonds (if using), and raisins. Set aside.

Wash the orange (a mixture of warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid works nicely; rinse extremely well). To avoid pesticides completely, use an organically grown orange. Cut orange into 8 sections and process in food processor until almost smooth. Add the other 1/4 cup chopped dates, and process again until you have a very smooth puree. Add each of the following ingredients in order, processing briefly after each: olive oil, molasses, maple syrup, soy milk and egg (use the same measuring cup for the molasses and oil; molasses will slide out easily without sticking to the cup).
