These were absolultely delicious!! I made two batches, one with nuts and one without (because I don't care for nuts, myself, but my family likes them). They were incredible. The only thing I would say is they are a tad dry... not so bad that you don't enjoy them, just a little. Maybe consider adding more buttermilk next time?? Other than that they are so tasty!! Thanks again for a wonderful recipe that I will make often!! -
These were good dense muffins! They were better the first day as they did become dry very fast - maybe because of the whole wheat flour? Added some mini chocolate chips instead of walnuts and zapped them in the microwave with a bit of butter... they were divine!!! Thanks Ev! :) -
I made these muffins this morning minus the nuts. Delicious banana muffins! I had to double (and more) the recipe because I used the Buttermilk Substitute recipe for the buttermilk, which makes a cup, and I accidentally without thinking dumped the entire thing of buttermilk into the bowl. Duh moment! Anyway, I added more of everything and they thankfully turned out perfect!! The rise beautifully and are a nice moist muffin with a crisp top. I love the addition of the wheat flour. Great recipe Evelyn!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
