Mouthwatering Prune Muffins

Prune Whole Wheat Muffins

Don't Say They're Prune Muffins
'Til After Every Muffin Is Eaten

The secret here is NOT to tell your sisters,
brothers or parents what's in these muffins.
Tell them after they scarf them down.
After that they won't say "eeuuuuwww!
Prune Muffins?" All you'll hear them say is,
"Make some more of those."

Another piece of advice. Don't ever dye
Prune Muffins Green. My Grandfather
came over to our house on St. Patrick's Day
for dinner. I tried to impress him with
Green Prune Muffins.

Not a good idea. The yellow-brown whole wheat flour
and the green food coloring turned the muffins a
bruised color (black and blue). The dark bits of
prune made the whole effect even worse!
My Grandfather talked about those muffins for years.

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

2. Grease 12 muffin tins

3. Chop up pitted prunes -- cut each prune into eight pieces or more

4. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl

5. Then thoroughly mix 1 teaspoon of soda with dry ingredients

6. Pour wet ingredients in with dry and mix with large spoon
until combined Don't beat mixture. Just mix until no dry spots are left.

7. Immediately Spoon into greased muffin tins

8. Bake in oven for about 25 minutes. Tops of muffins will get brown when done.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup warm honey
1 beaten egg
1 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt (optional) I don't use it
3/4 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
(In a pinch you can mix up 3/4 cup of dry milk with
water and squirt in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice --
This reacts with the soda and makes the batter rise)

1/2 cup finely chopped prunes
