Don't deprive yourself. You can easily fit this treat into a low fat, calorie controlled diet! It has a rich taste with only 2.4gm fat per serve. I found that I could just taste the prunes but that they gave the muffin a bit of complexity. Best eaten same day, as the top may become a bit sticky when stored. (I kept them and zapped in microwave for 10secs to refresh. mmm) from Aust. Women's Weekly Simply Lite Food.
