Prune Muffins These moist flavorful muffins have been taste-tested by toddlers (and Holly!), with much success. Don't be scared off by the prunes. Your family will not even know they are there. These muffins are a good source of fiber.
1 3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
1/4 cup salad oil
2 baby food jars (4 oz each) of pureed prunes (prunes w/ apple work too)
1/3 cup milk
Topping:
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into a bowl and make a well in the center.
- Place egg, oil, prunes, and milk in a medium bowl and beat with a fork until well mixed.
- Pour liquid mixture into flour well and mix just until moistened. Batter will be lumpy.
- Fill greased muffin tins 3/4 full.
- To prepare the topping: mix wheat germ, sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle topping onto muffins and gently pat on.
