The name will turn your guests off, but I guarantee that they'll eat two. I made mini-muffins, and they came out great. I used half of the sugar, and I didn't cut up the date enough. Next time, I'll cut them into smaller pieces so that the prune taste isn't so overpowering. - 29 Sep 2008
Always looking for a new muffin recipe, these were great. I added 1/2 cup vanilla low fat yoghurt, 1/2 cup grated carrot and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts. Added the extra vanilla as suggested and split the flour and used 1 cup of wholemeal and 3/4 cup plain. - 06 May 2013
These are really nice! I also replaced half the flour with wholemeal and added extra cinnamon and vanilla extract. - 16 Jul 2013
