Fresh Nectarine Muffins

I have been tweaking the Whole Wheat Nectarine Muffin recipe a bit so I wanted to repost it. It's just so darn tasty; it has become one of my favorite muffins and I will miss it when nectarine season is over.

I would have liked to add more whole grains, but it got too heavy. I also tried a version with oat flour and it didn't do anything for the nectarines. So I've bumped up the cinnamon and added another tablespoon of date sugar. It the perfect muffin for when you desire one that's not too sweet.

Makes about 12 muffins.
