  I replaced the prunes with 170g mashed banana, the pecan with 60g of crunchy peanut butter and used self-raising wholewheat flour instead of white. They are AMAZING! I can't stop eating them!

  Also, I used rapeseed oil instead of sunflower oil, and as I didn't have buttermilk, just used some slightly off milk which had turned way before its use-by date, perfect waste solution :)

  I've made a lot of muffins, many from the GF site... but these I found very disappointing. I cut back on the sugar as some of the comments suggested, and used walnuts instead of pecans as I didn't have any, but found them to be quite dry and heavy. I don't think I will bother making them again, much preferring the cranberry cheesecake ones which are a lot more moist.

  Wonderful muffins! Delicious for breakfast or at any time. I used 90g chopped prunes and 90g chopped dates, and reduced sugar to 90g. I found that this recipe made 12 good-sized muffins.

  Delicious! I made them with a mixture of natural yogurt and creme fraiche as I had no buttermilk in, added a handful of raisins and a scatter of poppy seeds and sunflower seeds. Don't think they will last very long!!

  @KATIE I tried your banana/PB combo, but with white flour, absolutely delicious!

  Great recipe. Didn't have exactly the ingredients needed so swapped the prunes for a mashed banana, used 50ml milk as well as 100ml buttermilk, and walnuts and raisins instead of pecans. Made 10 good sized muffins. Also drizzled honey on top before cooking...yum!

  Havent made these yet but put them into my Weight Watchers calculator and they are quite high in points! If this recipe makes 8 muffins as stated then its 11 points per muffin! Or if it makes 12 its still 7 points each which is very high for just a snack. The sugar, oil and pecan nuts each have quite a lot of points so may be more diet-friendly if you can substitute/omit these.

  I made these the other day but changed the ingredients slightly. Instead of prunes and pecans I added 1 chopped apple. I found this worked so well with the cinnamon, they were delicious. I should have put the batter into muffin cases rather than straight into the tray as they were very hard to get out whole.

  I just made these and substituted oats for bran flakes, sultanas for prunes and no nuts because my kids don't like them much. I think they tasted lovely and the recipe made loads and was very very easy.

  These are delicious but used dates and walnuts instead of prunes and pecans and had no light muscovado so used dark. Had no oats so made up the weight with walnuts - wonderful!

  Absolutely delicious. Went by what other posters said and went for about 90g of sugar, a whole (drained) can of prunes, 1/2 tsp extra baking soda and 175ml plain, low fat yogurt instead of the butter milk. So hard to get wrong!

  Lovely muffins. I put in a finely diced apple which worked well with the cinnamon. I think the calorie count is correct at 478. This must be based on getting 6 out of the mix. I got 12 smaller ones out of my mix, so therefore only half the calories! Otherwise they would be pretty enormous muffins...
