this is one of my favorite barefoot contessa recipes. the only thing you should edit is part 2 in the directions: the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt should be sifted before mixed. the melted butter should then be added and blended. and lastly, the eggs, milk, vanilla, and mashed bananas should be combined...then added to the flour/butter mixture. these changes will make quite a differnce in the outcome of these muffins...they are fabulous!

This is a little too sweet for my liking, but everyone loves them! I might use less sugar next time because the bananas are sooo sweet. I used 1/2 unbleached flour and 1/2 whole wheat flour, skim milk, Bear Naked Banana Nut granola (naturally sweetened, purchased at Costco, but usually available at natural food stores), unsweetened coconut, and I picked banana chips out of the granola as toppers. They are plenty moist, but didn't rise very much, so I would fill your tin to the top, I only filled 2/3 full. I will probably make this again, though it doesn't seem any better than my regular banana nut muffin recipe.

ABSOLUTELY the best! Everyone loved these muffins in my home, even my husband who doesn't have a sweet tooth whatsoever! They were a huge hit. Great recipe!

These are wonderful muffins! I used some whole wheat flour (about 1/3 whole wheat and 2/3 white), which gave them a heartier texture. I also used half brown sugar and half white--I might cut down on the sugar next time, as these were very sweet, but then again, maybe not--they were very good!

These were awesome! I varied from the original recipe only slightly. I used 1/3 whole wheat flour and 2/3 unbleached all purpose. I also cut the sugar by 1/4. Finally, I used chopped pecans instead of walnuts. Delicious!

Wow....what a great recipe. I made some modifications as others suggested: I used 1 cup whole wheat flour and 2 cups of white flour; used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar; substituted buttermilk for the milk. I also decided to add 1/4 cup wheat germ. Be certain though to properly combine the ingredients as mentioned in a previous review - dry ingredients mixed first, melted butter added to the dry ingredients. Combine the eggs, milk, and vanilla and add next. Finally, fold in mashed bananas, chopped bananas, granola, nuts, coconut, and wheat germ. This recipe is a keeper!!

I didn't have a problem with them being too sweet, but I substituted Splenda for the sugar so that might be why. The muffins were good, but if I make these again, I'll put an extra banana in.
