I created this one night out of whatever I had on hand that I thought might taste good together--my husband thinks I'm a genius now! We named them 'cigars' because they're shaped like cigars, and if you blow into one end, smoke billows out the other!
Similar to banana bread, this moist cake is enriched with creamy buttermilk, brown sugar, butter, walnuts, and rum. Apple juice can be substituted for the rum, and pecans for the walnuts.
They are so delicious - you wouldn't believe that something with prunes would be so good, but they are! And they are low in fat - 1 muffin is less than 5grams of fat. They are so moist and not rubbery or chewy! A definite must try. I had the whole lot devoured in a day.
Get out your grater or food processor, you'll need to grate up a bunch of zucchini. But this is what makes these patties fry up so wonderfully. A nice change from potato pancakes. Serve with a bit of tomato sauce or sour cream dabbed on top.
I developed this recipe when I was cooking for large groups of people. It's easy to make and gives you plenty of time to do other things while it's baking.
