Baking: From My Home to Yours

By Dorie Greenspan

I really liked these hearty, healthy muffins.
I always push my baking powder and baking soda through a tea strainer to get out any lumps before using in any recipe ( I've been" burned" before with bitter lumps!) and I am sure that I did it with this recipe too. And, I probably substituted one tsp vinegar in a cup of low fat milk (and let it stand about 5 minutes) for the buttermilk. If my memory is correct, I think I only used prunes, as the recipe suggests, once and used either dried apricots or craisins ( dried cranberries) the second time. Either way, the muffins were very good.
These are a hearty muffin, not a dessert type muffin.

I have made this recipe at least twice, which means it is a keeper for me.
