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!!

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!

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!

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 are great! This is a pretty fail-proof recipe, as I had to pinch hit quite a few things: I used soy milk, powdered eggs (so convenient!), only 1 banana, trail mix instead of granola and almonds instead of walnuts. I also did half brown / half white sugar, and I toasted the almonds and coconut first. Next time I'll skip the liners, since they kept the muffins from getting the all-over crust that I like. These are sweet and rich, but not overly so ~ my kind of muffin!

These muffins were fabulous. I made them for a group of people and every single one of them loved them. I took the advice of others and used 1 c. whole wheat flour and 2 c. all-purpose. I also added a second chopped banana and I decreased the walnuts a few Tbsp so that I could add some wheat germ. Gave the muffins a healthful flavor. One note - if you want them to have a "crunch" they need to be eaten after baking. The next day they were super moist and yummy, just not crunchy anymore.
