I love this recipe. I'm not big on banana cakes so I didn't add as many bananas & it still turned out pretty moist.

I sat these on the counter to cool, came back, and my husband (who hates bananas and prunes)had eaten 3 already. He thought the prunes were raisins. I didn't change a thing in the recipe; they're quite good as is. I used paper liners and they peeled right off. I will definitely make these again. Next time I'll try using a little of the flour when chopping the prunes. They are so sticky.

I use this often, too bad prunes have such a poor acceptence, they are so very nutritious. I always use half white whole wheat and half non-bromated unbleached flour. They are great for us.

These are fabulous. Fantastic muffins.. I followed the recipe to a T..the only thing i altered was that i didnt use the full amount of the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon part.. i left back perhaps 3 tablespoons.. It wasnt necessary else the muffins would have been too dry BUt..! this recipe is a definite keeper

Great Flavor! I made a few changes-applesauce for the oil, no salt, no baking soda, salt free baking powder, only used 1/4cup white flour-substituting 10 grain, whole wheat, oat bran and wheat germ for the remainder. I also added extra banana-using only very ripe ones. I also used only 1/4cup sugar. They were great. The whole family loves them. I may try next time to use less sugar since the fruits are very sweet alone.

Everyone loved these delicious, moist muffins! I was looking for a recipe to use up extra prunes and i found it. Would be good with nuts as well.

The dough seemed quite hard and gloopy when I put these in muffin papers, and so I cooked them for 25 minutes and let them cool. I bit into one this morning with caution as they seemed a bit weird, but they tasted really good! Appearances can be deceiving! I guess maybe next time I will add some more banana, as looking back I realised I had only put one banana in as opposed to one cup, whoops. They were still really good though.

The name will turn your guests off, but I guarantee that they'll eat two. I made mini-muffins, and they came out great. I used half of the sugar, and I didn't cut up the date enough. Next time, I'll cut them into smaller pieces so that the prune taste isn't so overpowering.

Carefully followed recipe except added a bit more vanilla extract. I hand mixed everything so I wouldn't overmix. A good recipe to use up over ripe bananas and unwanted prunes. Nice banana flavor. Very pretty presentation with all the cracks on the top. Fine crumb texture - lovely! Because I like my baked goods sweet - I might add more sugar next time. Only complaint - prunes really stick to your teeth.

We really enjoyed these muffins- great texture and the taste was unique in a good way. The prunes added a nice sweetness without being overwhelmingly "pruney" or too sweet like raisins. I subbed 1/2 c whole wheat flour which made them maybe a little tougher, but still tasty!

delicious. moist and soft good banana flavour. not at all chewy. sneaky way to get kids to eat something at least resembling fruit. Also another big hit with the ladies at church.

I'm not normally a prune eater, but I accidentally bought a box of prunes instead of raisins, so...I made these muffins and they were WONDERFUL! My husband and children thought they were scrumptious and they didn't turn up their nosees because they were eating prunes. I have made them a couple of times now!

These muffins seem a bit odd at first with the prunes, but once you get used to the idea, they're really pretty tasty. A nice, healthy breakfast food. Better-tasting the second day after the spices have developed their flavor in the muffins.

All my bananas were green, so I substituted two 4-oz. jars of banana baby food. Although the muffins weren't glamorous, they were moist and healthy, and I would make them again.

These are very good--moist and flavourful. I will def. make again, may try dates instead of prunes but the prunes were fine. Forgot to share the Weight Watcher points! 4 points per muffin. Thanks Lisa.
