Banana Prune Muffins

SUBMITTED BY: LISA BRETON PHOTO BY: Arlene

"They are so delicious - you wouldn't believe that something with prunes would be so good, but they are! And they are low in fat - 1 muffin is less than 5grams of fat. They are so moist and not rubbery or chewy! A definite must try. I had the whole lot devoured in a day."

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
