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!
BANANA, BRAN AND PRUNE MUFFINS
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.
