Prune Cakes for My "Old Man"!

  • 1/4 cups all purpose flour (I used whole wheat)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (I used kosher)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup old fashioned or quick cook oats, uncooked
  • 1/3 cup skim milk
  • 3/4 cup applesauce, unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 Tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 medium carrots (1.5 cups)
  • 1/2 cup prunes, chopped
  1. Preheat oven to 400*F. Grease 12 standard muffin-pan cups or line cups with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir in oats. In medium bowl, with fork, mix milk, applesauce, brown sugar, molasses, oil, and egg until blended; stir in carrots and prunes. Add applesauce mixture to flour mixture; stir just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy).
  3. Spoon batter into prepared muffin-pan cups (muffin cups will be full). Bake 23 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean. Immediately remove muffins from pan. Serve warm, or cool on wire rack to serve later.
