Pumpkin-Orange Muffins

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup muffin trays or line with paper liners.

2. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix in prunes.

3. Mix pumpkin, orange juice, milk, eggs, orange zest, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Fold into flour mixture. Add melted butter and mix well.

4. Divide batter between the prepared muffin cups.

5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

6. Remove muffins from the oven and place on wire racks to cool, 20 to 30 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Cook's Note:

You can use 1 cup freshly cooked and mashed pumpkin instead of canned, if you prefer.
