Recipe by:
LISA BRETON
They are so delicious - you wouldn't believe that something with prunes could be this good! They're also low in fat, with just about 5 grams per muffin. A great morning or afternoon snack!

I have three growing, very sporty boys who are always hungry but am trying really hard to limit their sugar intake (secretly). This recipe is brilliantly simple and they all loved them. It has much less sugar that other recipes and the prunes sweeten alongside the bananas(they thought the prunes were blueberries btw). They all had them last night when they got back from school and have today taken them into school as their snack...should have made a double batch but wasnt sure til I tried whether it would get the thumbs up!

I saw this and I thought, you know what Kat, maybe even you can't mess this one up.
My goodness, I am so pleased, they look, smell and taste delicious so glad I tried them.

I gave these a five-star review in October, and have just made them again using cranberries instead of prunes for a festive flavour. Still utterly delicious!

These are delicious - I've made them twice now. The prunes give them lovely texture, and the cinnamon finishes them off nicely. They're firmly on my favourites list!

3 crazy kids all trying to help, one who was slightly unwell being encouraged not to cough on the ingredients and 40 minutes later the best, lightest and most tastiest muffins we've ever made
