Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 Egg
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Prunes (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until fully combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until just combined (do not overmix).

Step 5

Fold in the chopped prunes gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
