I had been making her whole wheat cereal bars but she was getting sick of them day after day. I made these for her breakfast and I put in wheat germ in place of protein powder which I didn’t have. I also filled these with a mix of pomegranate jam and minced carrots. She *inhaled* the muffin this morning. Thank you!!! This was exactly what I was looking for. I will certainly get a gold star from my daughter’s dietician.

I see they have prunes in them, which made me think of this product I saw called Lighter Bake – ever heard of it? Here’s the link: link to sunsweet.com

Anyway, I was wondering if you ever used it or know anything about it? Is it basically the same thing as using applesauce in recipes? I’d appreciate your input, as always :-)

I don’t see why not. If you give it a try let us know how it turns out.

Honestly that was the only container I’ve purchased.

But I really have to watch my “refined” sugar intake. I’m thinking that maybe this is something I could do.

I’m also looking for an affordable healthy protein powder without a lot of preservatives. $40 is not affordable for me. Any suggestions, Roni? Anyone?

Thanks!

They are really there to help with the sweetness, of course adding moisture along the way.

My mantra is to always try but I’m thinking in this case you will have to add something else to help sweeten if you take them out.

Hope that helps!

Just discovered your website and I am a beginning cook/health nut so I am very excited to try out your recipes. I have a quick question about the muffins. I am not a prune fan, but I wonder, could I use unsweetened apple sauce in place to create moisture? Let’s just say I made them without the prunes and I ended up with chocolate bricks! (Didn’t realize what the prunes actually did)

Have you tried agave syrup as a sweetner?

I sprinkled the top of mine with some sliced almonds and they looked great! thanks for the awesome recipe :-)

They were good too. But I think a bit more sweetness was needed so I added it. If you add a handful of chips you should be fine.

But I don’t have any molasses. Do you think I can leave it out without sacrificing taste, or can you suggest a substitute? Thanks!

They are already not too sweet take away the prunes and they’d be downright bland.

I would be spending the remainder of my morning in the bathroom LOL! I wonder if I could sub pumpkin?

I have made chocolate cookies with prunes in them (and I had normal people try them without complaint of prunes!) so I am excited to try this recipe out!!

I’d love to find a good 1 point chocolate cupcake/muffin recipe though so that I don’t break the bank on Vitalicious anymore. I’ll keep buying from them, but it’s getting expensive! My kids and I love them!

I think it will be a great combo with the banana and chocolate- mmm!

If anything it will give it even more chocolate flavor. :)

LOVE that you made muffins out of these. Definitely try w/ a few chocolate chips. Just a few make it soooo chocolatey & delicious. Perfect. Thanks for sharing your adaptation!
