This is a creative, fast and easy recipe! I also had to use the raisin bran cereal, since no one was eating it, and it was the perfect way to do so! I did use butter instead of shortening, and I added orange zest (about 1/2 teaspoon, since I halved the recipe). After the first batch, I also had to lower the oven temperature to 325, and bake the cookies for about 7 minutes, not 12-14. I also omitted the raisins, because most of my family doesn't like them very much. My brother and mom loved them, and so did I!

Great recipe! I thought the crust would be harder to do, but it was a breeze, and so was the filling. I didn't have muffin liners, so I just sprayed them with baking cooking spray, and then floured them. I actually had some leftover crust (which I really liked), and my mom made some savory filling (ham and cheese, held together by one yolk), and they turned out like great appetizers! I also filed one with blueberries, and those were very good too! Great recipe, thanks!

My friends and I were trying this out for a bake sale that we are having, and they all loved it! We halved the recipe so that we could have one each, and it turned out great! We did a bit more of the topping than was required in the recipe, but I think that made it better. Definitely, the topping makes this muffin. Also, I added more banana mash than it said in the recipe, and the taste was awesome! I gave it four stars because it was a little too gooey in the bottom, but that is all.
