These are nice and banana-ey! I did add the whole wheat flour as suggested, but not the wheat germ. As a banana muffin purist, I thank you for not adding vanilla, cinnamon or chocolate. (I guess we really are all different.) The muffins were very easy to make, too. I'm using a fairly new oven, and can't really say anything helpful about the baking temperature or time. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us. -
These are really good muffins and come together quickly and easily. I set my oven a bit below 375 and the muffins were more than done in 23 minutes. I'll make these again and maybe add 1/2 tsp. of vanilla. Thanks Ellie!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
