I also would try a different type of topping - something more of an icing than a syrup. I didn't have vegetable oil so I used 1/4 c applesauce, 1/4 c olive oil and an extra 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, which substituted fine. I also used vanilla and almond extract since I didn't have lemon.

This was a really good recipe! I added a clove of garlic but I think it'd be better without it. I substituted half of the butter for olive oil, added a pinch of brown sugar, and substituted coreander since I didn't have cardamom. It's a bit spicier than I thought it would be, but a good balance. I added some crushed pita chips on top when serving.

I don't even like banana and I liked these muffins. I cut the sugar back to 1/2 cup and it was plenty. I also added about a teaspoon of cinammon.
