Banana Prune Muffins
Not everyone likes prunes. I’m not the biggest fan, but it was suggested I have some. So I buy a bag, and realized I needed to find recipes or I would waste a lot of them. Came across this recipe, did a few modifications (made it my own) and voila, another muffin recipe and to my own surprise, quite good.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of white sugar
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 cup of mashed banana
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour (I used unbleached)
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup of chopped pitted prunes
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease and flour muffin tin or use paper liners (I use reusable silicone muffin liners)
- In a large bowl, combine sugar, oil and egg and beat until smooth.
- Blend in banana and vanilla.
- Mix together in another bowl flour, baking powder, baking sodium, salt and cinnamon.
- Stir into egg mixture until just moistened.
- Mix in the prunes.
- Spoon into muffin cups.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
