OATMEAL-PRUNE MUFFINS - WILLAMETTE VALLEY OREGON
I don't recall when I received this recipe. I do however, recall eating my first one fresh from the oven. They are a nice change from the heavy brans and the all too common blueberry and strawberry muffins.

BANANA PRUNE MUFFINS
They are so delicious - you wouldn't believe that something with prunes would be so good, but they are! And they are low in fat - 1 muffin is less than 5grams of fat. They are so moist and not rubbery or chewy! A definite must try. I had the whole lot devoured in a day.

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 ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas are perfect for this recipe.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will overflow.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- Muffins are best served warm, but can also be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
