Fresh Plum and Oatmeal Muffins

the original recipe is from Cooks.com. I have tweaked it. I must say these are good, but dense.

In a blender puree enough plums to make 1 cup; set aside.Cream 1 stick of butter and 1 cup brown sugar. Add 1 egg and pureed plums.

Stir in:
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon

Add:

1 1/2 c. old fashion oatmeal
1 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

Stir carefully only until moistened. Spray an unlined muffin pan with cooking spray in bottom of the pan put a pecan half centered between 2 slices of fresh plum *(see note). Fill muffin pans 2/3 full of batter and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Remove from oven and invert while still hot. Replace any fruit and nut pieces that stay into pan in your muffins. Cool 5 minutes. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Serve warm or cold. Can be frozen for later use.

*my changes were I chopped some pecans and added into the batter. I also plunked a piece of plum in the middle of the dough once it was in the muffin pan. The first time I put the plums and pecans at the bottom and when I turned the muffins out, they fell out.
