Just made these. Didn't have buttermilk so I used fat free half and half, fat free greek yogurt and a dash more of lemon juice. Didn't have prune puree either so I just threw in a little more yogurt. I took them out of the oven and my husband inhaled two and I KNOW he wants to go back for a third. We are both on weight watchers and these are 3 pts apiece. Absolutely delicious and so healthy! Thanks so much for this recipe, I will be making them again and again, next time I'll do apples or blackberries and use the prune puree or applesauce.

My husband and I love these, they have really great flavor and very moist. Only 2points if your doing Weight Watchers. I used applesauce instead of prune babyfood. Very easy to make.
