PRUNE MUFFINS
I love this little muffin!! A grand prize winning recipe by Betty Watts of PEI, source: Saltscapes magazine, Canada's East Coast Magazine. Betty says these muffins are best served the day after they are made, I like them anytime, especially warm from the oven! I have updated the directions as the result of the first review. I often add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans to the dry ingredients, I love nuts!

Steps:
- My helpful hint! I like to prepare the prunes before I start baking, sometimes even the night before I chop the prunes, sprinkle with two tablespoons of water, stir and let sit until needed. I find it makes them much more moist, if there is any liquid left in the dish after I spoon the prunes into the flour mixture I add it to the bowl of liquids.
- In a large bowl, combine prunes, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar.
- In a bowl blend together beaten egg, sour cream and melted butter.
- Add to dry ingredients and stir just until well blended, but do not overmix.
- Batter will be firm like a stiff drop cookie dough.
- Fill 12 greased medium-size muffin tins about 3/4 full; you will need to use a spoon and knife to do this as the dough is very thick.
- Bake 15 - 20 minutes in 375 degree oven, or until golden brown.
- Let sit in pans for a couple of minutes before turning out, they will be easier to handle when dipping in the topping.
- While hot, dip muffin tops into the 1/4 cup melted butter, then sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Note: I use about 1/3 cup of sugar and find that is sufficient, or you can double dip and have a nice crunchy topping.
- Delicious!
Tips:
- Use fresh lychees for the best flavor. If using canned lychees, be sure to drain them well.
- To make sure the muffins are moist, don't overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- If you don't have a muffin pan, you can also bake the muffins in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
- For a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
- For a more tart muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of lemon juice to the batter.
Conclusion:
Lychee muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist, flavorful, and have a beautiful pink color. Whether you are looking for a quick breakfast, a sweet snack, or a dessert to impress your friends, these muffins are sure to hit the spot.
