This basic muffin recipe was published years ago by Robin Hood Flour as Best Ever Banana Muffins - and they are! The topping is optional - muffins are delicious with or without it. For a healthier muffin, canola oil can be substituted for the butter (in any recipe where melted butter is used, you can make this substitution). For a coffeecake, spread batter in a greased 9 X 9 inch square pan and sprinkle topping over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Yummy!

I was very pleased with these muffins, and my husband loved them! I've tried recipes for Morning Glory Muffins before, and found them heavy and greasy. These are light, moist and tasty - and healthier, too. Using just 1/2 cup of oil and adding applesauce makes the difference! The muffins taste even better the second day, and freeze well. I got 18 large muffins from the recipe.

Very tasty!! I used center-cut bacon (adding a couple extra slices). This makes a thrifty meal. Good with green salad. Note: if making the entire recipe, I suggest using a stockpot; a 12" skillet is fine for 1/2 of the recipe, but not big enough for the whole recipe. This recipe is a winner! I will make it often.
