Oatmeal Prune Muffins Willamette Valley Oregon Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl sift together the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, the salt, and the baking soda and stir in the oats and the prunes. In another bowl whisk together the buttermilk, the butter, the molasses, and the egg, add the mixture to the flour mixture, and stir the batter until it is just combined. Divide the batter among 12 well-buttered 1/3-cup muffin tins and bake the muffins in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden and springy to the touch. Turn the muffins out onto a rack and let them cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
• In a small bowl, combine milk and oats; let soak for 15 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, beat together egg and oil; stir in oatmeal mixture. In a third bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into wet ingredients, just until combined. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups until cups are 2/3 full.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Steps:

• My helpful hint! I like to prepare the prunes before I start baking, sometimes even the night before I chop the prunes, sprinkle with two tablespoons of water, stir and let sit until needed. I find it makes them much more moist, if there is any liquid left in the dish after I spoon the prunes into the flour mixture I add it to the bowl of liquids.
• In a large bowl, combine prunes, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar.
• In a bowl blend together beaten egg, sour cream and melted butter.
• Add to dry ingredients and stir just until well blended, but do not overmix.
• Batter will be firm like a stiff drop cookie dough.
• Fill 12 greased medium-size muffin tins about 3/4 full; you will need to use a spoon and knife to do this as the dough is very thick.
• Bake 15 - 20 minutes in 375 degree oven, or until golden brown.
• Let sit in pans for a couple of minutes before turning out, they will be easier to handle when dipping in the topping.
• While hot, dip muffin tops into the 1/4 cup melted butter, then sugar and cinnamon mixture.
• Note: I use about 1/3 cup of sugar and find that is sufficient, or you can double dip and have a nice crunchy topping.
• Delicious!
