I made a few changes, I am sure the original is even better. I didn't have granola, left out coconut, used one cup whole wheat flour and halved the sugar. They turned out great, and I added milk chocolate chips and a few raisins. Thanks for the great base recipe. I also like that it makes 24 muffins rather than just 12.

Very good and everyone at the party that I made them for loved them. I thought they were a little dry so I might add 1/2 cup of applesauce next time.

Great recipe!I love all the healthy ingredients, but it was more time consuming that I hoped for, but worth it. I baked the first batch the full amount of time. They had tough bottoms, so the next batch I baked for less time and they were perfect

WOW!!! Even my 5yr old who hates bananas loved these muffins! I used half wheat flour and I omitted the granola since I didn't have any. I added a few milk chocolate chips. So good!

Fantastic! I omitted the walnuts but followed as written otherwise. These were gone so fast. The kids loved them. Thanks!

I don't like a really strong banana flavour in banana breads and desserts. The banana adds needed moisture to the batter in this recipe but not a lot of strong flavour, which is great. I just put in 4 mashed bananas (saved in the freezer when they got too brown). The muffins are moist and yummy. Thanks!

I left the eggs out and just added more banana (1/2 banana extra per egg). Wonderful! Great flavor and texture.

I thought that this recipe was really good. All the ingredients were simple so they were very easy to make. I also used chocolate chips insted of granola and I used pecans insted of walnuts. I turned out very tasty:)

The only reason why I didnt give this recipe 5 stars is because I changed a couple of things.I made 3 dozen so the 3 bananas just werent gonna cut it,so I used 5,no walnuts no coconut but added extra granola.These were absolutely delicious. I froze the majority and take them out as needed for my husband and boy does he love them.They hold up so well even after being frozen for a week.This is now my new recipe and have already made them twice.Thanks for the post.

Fantastic muffins! These were soooo good. I had no granola so added a bit more coconut & the walnuts along with a handfull of chocolate chips that needed using. They came out fluffy and good! Will be putting in my permanant rotation!

Rainy day here today, so thought it would be a great time to bake something. I didn't have any coconut so decided to add dried cranberries...this added a great tang to the muffins...LOVE THEM and will absolutely make them again...that is the only thing I changed, and also 1/2'd the recipe...we don't need 24 muffins in our house, I would eat 20 of them...so got 15....

Very tasty, with a nice banana flavor. I didn't have any granola, so I used Special K cereal instead. They still had a nice crunch to them. I would make these again when I have ripe bananas to use up.

i thought this recipe was delish! I made a few changes..substituted 1 cup of sugar for splenda and 1/2 of the other for brown sugar. I also used a vanilla flavored granola cereal and used chocolate chips..These were a hit i would say! You can vary up and play with the addiional ingredients no problem..but it did only make 18 small for me..thank you i will make these often

I had some bananas to use up and made this recipe (cutting it in half). Followed the directions exactly and we loved them. Best banana muffins I ever made. Half of the recipe yielded 15 muffins.

These tasted very "healthy," although I did make some changes: whote wheat flour instead of white flour, splenda instead of sugar, half the butter, no nuts or banana chips (banana chips are VERY fatty!) and double the granola. I used Bear Naked vanilla almond granola and used an almond to top the muffin. I think they could have been sweeter, or had more spices, like cinnamon or nutmeg. Otherwise, great base recipe, and looked great. I used my kitchenaid muffin pan sprayed with crisco non-stick baking spray (butter flavor with flour) and I didn't need to use muffin cups. They just popped right out beautifully!

These are quite possibly the best muffins I have ever tried. I halved the recipe and it still made 12 muffins, and 7 mini-muffins! I only baked them for about 20 minutes, so watch the time. I also replaced half of the white flour with wheat flour...my kids (and my husband couldn't tell the difference). I used a granola that had dried cranberries and currants in it, which only added to the flavor. I didn't have enough walnuts, so we used half walnuts and half pecans. Overall, they were delicious and I will definitely make them again!!

Love this easy banana muffin recipe. I did make a few changes. I used 1 1/2 sticks of butter instead of 2 and increased the milk slightly to compensate for the reduced liquid. Next time I might use 1 stick of butter and applesauce to reduce the fat content. I didn't have coconut, which would have been fantastic and instead I used 1/2 cup peanut butter chips and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. I used my Bear Naked granola that I loved and the results speak for themselves. This is a muffin that everyone will love because it is so different. The granola adds a surprisingly good texture and unexpected taste that I just love!

These are sooooo delicious! I made them tonight because I had bananas that I wanted to use up. I cut the recipe in half (I used 2 small bananas). I did not have the nuts or granola on hand...but they were still delicious. I look forward to trying them with those ingredients added as well.

So good. I used ingredients as written, following the mixing directions of an early reviewer. Just delicious. The combination of coconut, nuts and banana with the granola gives wonderful texture with layers of flavor. I highly recommend.

I just finished making this recipe and I am enjoying eating the warm muffins with a glass of milk.....ohhhh my goodness, they are absolutely out of this world! I did change a few things for health's sake but they are still the best muffins I've ever made. I substituted brown sugar for white sugar and whole wheat flour for white flour. I also cut the butter by half and added 2 tablespoons of oil instead, until the mixture was thick yet moist. Since i didn't have coconut, i added 1 cup of mini marshmallows and some leftover wheat germ that I had in my pantry (1/4 cup). I took them out of the oven when they were beginning to brown, after roughly 19 minutes. They are absolutely spectacular, the brown sugar is a great substitution I think.
