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.
- 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!
