- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin or individual ramekins by greasing them.
- Blend the pitted Medjool dates with 1 cup of boiling water until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in 2 tablespoons of molasses and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently incorporate the date mixture into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin or ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While baking, prepare the toffee sauce by combining 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup of butter, and 3/4 cup of brown sugar in a saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth.
- Serve warm with toffee sauce drizzled on top.
