Prunes and pumpkin combine in this harvest inspired muffin to create a delicious and healthy snack with good-for-you beta carotene and fibre.

Ingredients

1/2 cup  (125 mL)  pitted prunes
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  vegetable oil
3/4 cups  (175 mL)  lightly packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup  (250 mL)  puréed pumpkin
3/4 cups  (175 mL)  milk
1 cup  (250 mL)  each  whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour
2 tsp  (10 mL)  baking powder
1 tsp  (5 mL)  ground ginger
1 tsp  (5 mL)  baking soda
3/4 tsp  (4 mL)  salt
1/2 tsp  (2 mL( each cinnamon and nutmeg
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  cloves

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400F (200C).

Line muffin pan with paper cups or spray with non-stick spray.

Chop prunes finely, set aside.

Blend oil with brown sugar in a bowl. Whisk in egg until smooth. Blend in pumpkin and milk. Reserve.

Combine flours, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in a large bowl. Stir until well combined and make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk mixture and stir until just blended.

Fill each muffin cup half full with batter. Sprinkle prunes evenly over batter; spoon remaining batter over prunes. Bake for 20 minutes or until muffins spring back when lightly touched with your fingertip.

Makes 12 muffins.

Tip: Look for canned pure 100 per cent pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. Freeze leftover canned pumpkin for making soup or more muffins.
