Preheat the oven to 180 degrees for 10 minutes. Measure and keep all the other ingredients ready. Measure and Sieve the whole wheat flour and mix well with baking soda and a pinch of salt.

Heat water until its warm and add dry dates powder/date sugar to it. Mix well with a hand whisk until the date sugar is completely dissolved. Then add vanilla essence and oil. Mix well so that the oil is mixed evenly.

Now add lemon juice/vinegar to it. Stir well.

Then add the sieved whole wheat flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Gently mix everything well for 10-15 seconds. Don't over mix it. Then add chocolate chips or broken nuts to the mix and give a stir. The final mixture should be slightly runny. So adjust with water if it is thick.

Line up the muffin tray with muffin liners. Pour the mixture into muffin liners and Bake in the preheated oven for 25 -30 minutes (baking time depends on the size of the muffin tray and oven) at 180°C till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cooling in the tray for 5 minutes.
