Nice and moist! I added some whole wheat flour to make it a bit healthier and also some chocolate chips. Definitely will use this recipe again!

Excellent muffins...DS really enjoyed them. A bit too moist (oily?), thus the 4 stars. Next time, I'll reduce the oil and add applesauce.

I thought these were rather bland. I much prefer Jo Jo's Favorite Banana Muffins (also on this site).

This is a great muffin. I added lots of chopped pecans, and divided the oats between quick oats and regular oats. I loved the texture.

Could not improve on this recipe. Moist, tasty muffins that came out great and were easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly other than that my two bananas made for just a teeny bit less than one cup.

Healthy, yet good... paradox? None of my co-workers could tell that this was the healthier version of the usual banana nut muffins. Thanks! I will be making this often. **UPDATE: Only use very ripe bananas, or it'll turn out yucky..

These came out really well! I used egg whites, skim milk, apple sauce, and organic wheat flour. In half of the batch I added blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries in the batch, and they came out great too.

Very good recipe. Like the added benefit of oats! Nice and moist. Will definitely make again. Subbed some applesauce for the most of the oil. Thanks.

Love this! I make these for breakfast a lot and all the kids love them! I love that they're getting oatmeal in there and I also use half whole wheat flour and half applesauce for the oil.

Very good muffins. I added chocolate chips and put them in mini muffins. I also added a 1/4 of ground flax seed. Next time I'll replace the oil with unsweetened applesauce.

Really good. I used half white/half wheat flour, added a little cinnamon, and one more mashed banana for moisture. Thanks for the recipe!

These muffins are fabulous – even my three year old loves them! I’ve been making them for about six months now – I bake up a batch just about every weekend, because they make for a quick, healthy and delicious breakfast during the week (if you put them in a tightly sealed container and place them in the refrigerator, they should last about 4-5 days). To make it a bit healthier (but still yummy), I use ¾ cup Whole Wheat Flour and ¾ cup White Flour. In addition, I add ¼ cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips and ¼ cup Dark Chocolate Chips to the batter. I found that baking them at 400 degrees was too high, as the outside would cook faster then the inside. So I bake them at 375 degrees for 20 minutes, and they always come out just right. Enjoy!

The muffins turned out okay, but not fabulously. I think 400 degrees is too hot. I would do 375 or 350. Also, I think the recipe calls for too much baking powder/soda, leaving a bit of a bitter aftertaste.

These were delicious!I made a couple of modifications after read a few reviews. I added the crumb topping from the "Banana Crumb Muffins" recipe.I used 1/2 whole wheat, 1/2 white flour, applesauce instead of oil, substituted brown sugar for white, substituted vanilla yogurt for milk and and 3 tablespoon of chopped walnuts for extra flavor. I will definitely be making this again!

Great balance of sweet and salty here! I added the crumb topping from the "Banana Crumb Muffins" recipe. In general, the banana flavor isn't overwhelming yet you can smell it in the muffins. Actually, the whole house smelled pretty amazing. Thanks for the great recipe!

These had a great texture and flavor, but they don't necessarily look too appealing. They also were best the first or second day, they didn't keep well past that.
