Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 heaping cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup prune puree
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Vanilla glaze (optional)

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners.
  • Make the prune puree: Add 4 oz. pitted prunes (about 2/3 cup) and ¼ cup hot water to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Adjust water as needed to get a smooth, thick consistency. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a medium sized mixing bowl.
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed, 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. salt
  • In another bowl, whisk together the prune puree, applesauce, eggs, milk, oil and vanilla.

  • Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until no more flour pockets remain. The batter will be thick.
  • Evenly divide the batter into the prepared muffin tin.
  • Bake for ~16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool.
  • Stir together the ingredients for the glaze in a small bowl and drizzle over the tops of the cooled muffins and enjoy!
