We have revised this recipe to use part whole wheat flour, applesauce instead of prune puree, and reduce the sugar slightly. We like it better so we hope you will too!

Great recipe! Took it into my daughters kinder classroom for her birthday treat and every kido loved it! Our family loves it too, from the 2 year old through to the grandparents... I used the recipe version cooking for a crowd - 32 people.
I made this into delicious pumpkin-pecan muffins. I omitted the 1 cup of white sugar and added about 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Tastes like fall!
