I used the "healthy" suggestion of using only the pumpkin and devils food cake mix - and wow! You can't taste the pumpkin, but these are the best moist chocolate muffins ever. I baked them in cupcake tins for 40 minutes at 350 - until a toothpick came out clean - and they turned out great.

Loved them! BUT I cut the sugar in half, and added 1/2 c coconut and 2 1/2 c oatmeal instead of all 3 c oatmeal. I used other people's suggestions by putting in evaporated milk instead of regular, used smooth PB, and doubled vanilla. They were still gooey after over an hour in the fridge, but the taste is worth it!

I have a few banana bread recipes in the recipe box - but I found them to be soggy-moist or too dry. This recipe is perfect for those who want a nice moist bread, but not "soggy". Be sure to mix very minimally when combining the wet and dry ingredients (just until there's no white left from the flour), and you will end up with a great texture! Not too dense at all, and not overly sweet. I did half whole wheat half white flour, and added cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla as suggested by other reviewers. I also added 1 tsp baking powder, and it came out great. The only thing I found different was it took 40 mins at 350F to bake - my oven is brand new, so this may have something to do with it? I think I am tossing my other recipes aside, this one takes the cake! :)
