I made the following changes: - 1/2 c. apple sauce instead of butter - scant cup of brown sugar - Instead of 1 1/2 c. white flour, I used one cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 c. wheat germ. Turned out great :)

Minus the walnuts I followed the recipe perfectly. The muffins were moist and had a great flavor. They freeze well and my kids loved them!

A bran muffin that actually tastes good! I used three small bananas and a small container of cinnamon applesause. These came out moist and delicious.

Really yummy! I used half whole wheat pastry flour and half all-purpose flour. Also substituted chocolate chips for the walnuts. Kids especially loved it!

I made these with healthy options (applesauce and splenda/sugar mix) and they still turned out great!

Good recipe, i am not a big fan of the "bran taste" and the bananas in this recipe defiantly hide the taste. Instead of using 1/2c butter i only used 1/4c of butter and 1/4c of unsweetened applesauce, so they still came out moist. I also only used 1/4c of splenda brown sugar, and substituted 1/4c of pecans instead of walnuts! Thanks for the great recipe!

I can't believe how good these were even with the butter replaced with applesauce! Delicious!

Like other users, I replace the butter with unsweetened applesauce. I cut back on the sugar a bit but will use the stated amount next time. They weren't quite sweet enough for muffins to me. I used 2 medium bananas and two small ones. Throw your overripened bananas in the freezer then defrost on the counter for 30-40 min. when you're ready to bake with them. I might experiment with adding some spices next time. Maybe some cinnamon? Fantastic recipe and so good for you!

Delicious! The only modifications I made were to use skim milk instead of whole milk and used 1 cup whole wheat flour plus 1/2 cup of all purpose flour. This will definitely be a keeper.
