I love the dense texture & mostly healthful ingredients ... it's not a wimpy bakery cake-like muffin, and it's a wonderful way to use overripe bananas, mushy apples, and spoiled milk. I found the muffins to be much more flavorful when eaten warm rather than when at room temperature, but that may be because I didn't use tart apples ... none on hand! I reduced the sugar, but I won't do it again. I also slightly increased the spices, and I plan to double them next time. Because I don't like gooey banana chunks, I mixed the banana with liquids, giving the batter a darker tint. Next fall I'm going to try this recipe with pumpkin instead of banana and perhaps with raisins and/or nuts.

Heavy, moist muffins. A little more like a breakfast bar than a muffin. Not great, but good with jelly or jam, or peanut butter. If I made these again, I would add some cinnamon and nutmeg. A good banana bread might be a better use of ripe bananas.

Tastes Okay, however its like banana apple porridge in a muffin cup. I felt like I was eating breakfast. My husband described it best like a moist muslie bar. I really think great for kids, I would put less sugar in though next time.

They were edible, but I wouldn't make them again. As other people said, I didn't like the texture. The oatmeal made for some very chewy bites.

Taste great, but didn't need as much liquid as the recipe stated. They didn't rise as much as I thought they would.

These muffins taste good, but they are very heavy in texture. The great thing is that they are easy and healthy!

Taste was pretty good for these muffins, but the texture was a bit lacking. I think I would add more flour and oil to them. I used paper muffin cups and the the muffins did not peel out of them.

Pretty good. I was attracted to this recipe because it is healthy and easy. If I make these again I will add vanilla extract and raisins. Thanks Alice.
