Banana and Prune Muffins 香蕉西梅玛芬
Our breakfast of freshly baked delicious banana and prune muffins can be made within a few minutes by using an electric mixer. This is a simple healthy bake with little butter but more of over ripe bananas. You can never go wrong with very ripe bananas to bake these fragrant, soft, yummy and a little dense muffins, more so with some pitted prunes thrown in. If you like these small cakes to be a little nutty, just add in some chopped walnuts.

Hi Ann,
I tried this recipe and I love it.
Thank you for sharing.

Easy and delicious! I love the use of prunes here, Ann.
These are nutritious muffins to start off a day!
Ann, baked this earlier, used plain flour instead with 1-3/4tsp BP, but the it’s ‘nua nua’ (sticky) in the centre. The cupcake is baked except for the centre part. Please advise. Thanks.
Hi Jen, because your cakes were not fully baked yet. Need to bake maybe another 5 mins longer. No worries, can use plain flour with baking powder.
Wonderful muffins, Ann!
