  1. These were SO good! I used all whole wheat flour, Splenda & added 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips. I also added 1 tsp cinn & got about 10 jumbo muffins. Great banana flavor too without being overly sweet. I did end up using almost 2 cups mashed bananas--black ones have the BEST flavor! Thanks so much for sharing!!
     
  2. Delicious! I used 1/2 whole wheat flour along with the white flour and replaced most of the white sugar with brown sugar. Added 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. nutmeg. MMMMMM Next time, I will add blueberries, too. So easy and so good.
     
  3. Like another reviewer, we used whole wheat flour and splenda- turned out to be delicious! Thanks.
     
  4. A great healthy muffin! I used 1/2 all-purpose flour and 1/2 whole wheat; 1/2 cup of wheat bran 1/2 cup of wheat germ instead of oat bran; added 1 ts of cinnamon. Mashed the bananas sort of carelessly, so I was left with a few lumps. Lovely, just-sweet-enough flavour, and I really like the texture. Next time I might add some diced apple, just to up the yumminess factor even further! Thank you for sharing!
     
  5. Turned out really good! I had read that setting out the wet ingredients to get to room temp was a good idea, so I did that. I also added frozen blueberries, chopped strawberries, and almonds. They were fluffier than any bran muffin that I've made and it was AMAZING that they didn't have eggs and butter! I froze 1/2 of them and next time, I'll make double to have them around for even more breakfasts! Thanks so much!

  2. I made these with 4 bananas, and substituted applesauce for the oil. Also sprinkled the tops with a little brown sugar and some oats. Super moist and yummy! They are denser than I expected but also filling, which makes them great for an on the go breakfast. I think I'll try with walnuts or raisins next time.

  4. These muffins are delicious! I will definitely make these again. Even my kids (a 3-year-old and a 16-month-old) ate them. I made two minor changes suggested by other reviewers. I used whole wheat flour instead of white and added 1t of cinnamon to the dry ingredients. This is a keeper! Oh, and as someone else said, they are only 2 points on Weight Watchers. Thanks!
     
  5. This was a great recipe. I too used whole wheat flour and mashed my bananas. Instead of sugar, I used honey and mixed it with the bananas. I also added some chopped walnuts and flax seed meal. They were delicious!!
