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.

BANANA, BRAN AND PRUNE MUFFINS



Banana, Bran and Prune Muffins image

This my own concoction, It contains more bran than flour and prunes as well. This should get you "going" and it's so good for you.Nothing has to be exact in the measurements. For extra nutrition I added ground flax seed and ground Salba, also Kretchmer wheat germ. This is not a sweet muffin, if you want more sugar just increase the brown sugar. If you don't know what Salba is I found this explanation very informative. The zaar computer will not accept Salba as an ingredient so I'm adding here. 1/8 cup Salba (optional Salba® is packed with more energizing nutrition than any other vegetable source, even Flax. After more than a decade of testing, no single food known to man can match Salba's® nutritional power. This ancient grain is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, with an optimal Omega 3 to 6 ratio, beneficial fibre, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Vitamin C, Potassium, vegetable proteins plus vital age-fighting antioxidants. Clinical studies suggest Salba's® unique nutritional make-up can: help boost energy levels, reduce blood pressure, improve your heart health, promote balanced blood sugar, aid in hunger management, promote healthy weight loss and support easy digestion.

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup mashed banana
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped pitted prunes

Tips:

  • To ensure moist and fluffy muffins, make sure to use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the muffins will be.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan, use muffin liners or grease the muffin tins well with cooking spray.
  • Feel free to customize the muffins to your liking. You can add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit. You can also use different spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
  • If you want a crispy muffin top, sprinkle some sugar on top of the muffins before baking.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
