Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until fully combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until just combined (do not overmix).
Fold in the chopped prunes gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
