I loved these muffins!! I thankfully took the advice of Sue and doubled the recipe to make 12 larger muffins. I filled the muffin cups almost all the way full. I now wish that I would have tripled the recipe. Once a month I always make a big batch of muffins to freeze so I can just heat them up in the morning for a quick breakfast. These really will be something worth waking up for! The only change that I made was that I used Smucker's Baking Healthy instead of the oil. It's a fruit based oil and shortening substitute. Even without the oil, I LOVED these muffins. Thanks for such a great recipe. I will be making these again next month! -
Very moist, flavorful, and simple to make. All the makings of a great recipe! I'd just note that I only managed to get 9 smaller muffins out of this so if someone needs the full 12 muffins they should go ahead and double the recipe. Thanks, this is a keeper! -
ummmmmmmm, these things are really good and fast. -
These are awesome! I made these this evening and everyone loved them, specially dad. A definite keeper; thanks so much for posting! -
I only had one banana, but they were still good. Used applesauce instead of oil. Had to cook almost 20 minutes. substitute for self rising flour: 1 cup reg. flour plus 1 tsp baking powder, 1.4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp baking soda

Deliciously light, fluffy and so easy to make! I took other reviewer's suggestions and added 1 tbsp baking powder to make the self-rising flour, and also used vanilla extract instead of water. I made mini muffins which took 11 minutes to cook. My picky 2.5 year old who doesn't eat much is now on his 4th mini muffin!

I used the self rising recipe provided by another reviewer and added vanilla extract instead of the water. 12 minutes was perfect for a tray of 24 mini muffins. Next time, I'll increase it to 3 bananas for more banana flavor. -

Needed to cook WAY longer than 10-12 minutes, more like 20! Added 1/4 tsp of rum flavoring and a dash of cinnamon. Replaced oil with applesauce. Very moist and flavorful, adding this to my regular routine!

my Wife loved these muffins. i substituted the sugar with Altern [WalMart brand Splenda for 2/3 the price], doubled the recipe, and added some cinnamon and nutmeg to the mix. we are both watching our salt, and since the recipe didn't call for any, i added a tablespoon of lemon juice to give it the salt i thought it would need. these are fantastic! i made enough for my Wife's breakfast for 18 days off a doubled recipe! [got 18 muffins from doubling, but i fill the muffin compartments more than 2/3 full :)] i'll definitely be making these again!
