Prune Juice Bran Muffins Recipes

LOW FAT PRUNE AND FRUIT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Mix bran, prune juice, skim milk and brown sugar.
• Set aside for ten minutes.
• Stir in beaten eggs, flours, baking powder, nutmet, cinnamon and salt.
• Blend thoroughly.
• Stir in apple sauce raisins and walnuts.
• Spoon equally divided into greased muffin tins.
• Bake in 425 degree oven for 15-20 minutes until lightly brown and springy to the touch.

PRUNE MUFFINS

Steps:

• My helpful hint! I like to prepare the prunes before I start baking, sometimes even the night before I chop the prunes, sprinkle with two tablespoons of water, stir and let sit until needed. I find it makes them much more moist, if there is any liquid left in the dish after I spoon the prunes into the flour mixture I add it to the bowl of liquids.
• In a large bowl, combine prunes, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar.
• In a bowl blend together beaten egg, sour cream and melted butter.
• Add to dry ingredients and stir just until well blended, but do not overmix.
• Batter will be firm like a stiff drop cookie dough.
• Fill 12 greased medium-size muffin tins about 3/4 full; you will need to use a spoon and knife to do this as the dough is very thick.
• Bake 15 - 20 minutes in 375 degree oven, or until golden brown.
• Let sit in pans for a couple of minutes before turning out, they will be easier to handle when dipping in the topping.
• While hot, dip muffin tops into the 1/4 cup melted butter, then sugar and cinnamon mixture.
• Note: I use about 1/3 cup of sugar and find that is sufficient, or you can double dip and have a nice crunchy topping.
• Delicious!

Steps:

• Add wet ingredients to dry and fold to mix gently.
• Don't over mix.
• Spoon into paper lined or greased muffin tins.
• I make 6 giant muffins or you can make 12 ordinary size muffins.
• Baking time will vary from about 20 minutes for regular size to 30 minutes for giant size.
