my kids loved it, I loved it. We didn't have granola so we used oats. I cut it in half and made mini muffins. Next time I will not cut it half and use granola I think that will only make it better

i followed this recipe to a tee and loved it, but then i thought "why not add in a bit of chocolate" as i do with nearly all my recipes ... try adding a bar or two of broken up chocolate (galaxy cookie is my preferred choice) and serve warm with butter melted on for a yummy treat.

Giving credit where it's due, this is identical to the Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten) recipe. With that, I will say the recipe is exceptional. While I didn't get the crown I like to see on the muffins, the taste and texture is very appealing and delicious. I forgot to add fresh banana chunks, but it still turned out great! I decided to use some leftover caramel and ganache toppings to make the tops a little prettier and use up the toppings. Yum! Great crunch and texture with the granola, walnuts, and coconut!

Will not be making these again. Texture was way to mushy and didn't like the hard bits of banana chips on top. Sorry.

Excellent! I made it without eggs (only because I didn't have any today--oops!) and it was still great! The texture likely would have been more fluffy with eggs, but I was surprised at how nicely these held together even without. I did sub approximately 1 T of mayo per 1 egg (I halved the recipe). I also substituted applesauce for half the butter. I sprinkled some extra chopped nuts and coconut on the top of each muffin, which made them prettier and added crunch. YUM!! Thanks for this awesome recipe!

Very yummy! I'm thinking of using this recipe for my son's first birthday cake, minus the nuts.

these were really good. I used oats instead of granola.

I reduced the butter to 1/4 cup and compensated the rest of butter with oil. I didn't have milk so I used 1/2 cup condensed milk and 1/4 cup water. Didn't have banana chips so sprinkled the top with more granola mix. It came out delicious!

Wonderful recipe made as stated. I use Grape Nuts Trail Mix Crunch for the granola. But I love to play around with substituing ingredients (adding flax seed, using whole wheat flour, brown sugar, etc.) All the reviews give lots of ideas. I have made this into mini loaves and worked fine, but like it best as muffins.
