How to Make Banana Prune Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1/3 cup (75ml) vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  4. Mash 2 ripe bananas and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add to the wet ingredients and mix well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup (150g) pitted prunes, chopped.
  8. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
