I LOVED IT!!! I used 4 very ripe bananas (just because that's what I had)and then followed the directions (I did use whole wheat flour instead of the all purpose). I put in 1/2 cup of walnuts and my daughter was snacking on some Ocean Spray Crasins so we threw in 1/2 Cup of them too! They came out EXCELLENT!! They weren't dry or chewy. Very good! I am always looking for healthy, portable breakfast ideas for my 5 year old. She gets on the school bus at 7am and eats breakfast on the bus, so these are great!! I put about 1/4 cup into each baking cup and I got 12 good-sized muffins. Thanks!!

I usually make a recipe according to it's directions first, then make changes the next time. However, this time I followed some of the suggestions other raters talked about, and they turned out great! I enjoyed this recipe, and love it's versatility. I added the applesauce, and omitted one egg. I added thecinnamon, oatmeal, wheat flour, vanilla, and applesauce. I forgot to add nuts, so I sprinkled them on top, along with brown sugar and oatmeal. I used brown sugar in the recipe, only 1/2 cup. I think next time I'll boost that back up to 3/4 cup. I like my muffins a bit sweeter. Great recipe!

Muffins were very heavy and not very tasty eventhough I did add some of the ingredients that others suggested such as applesauce.

Fantastic to find a low-fat favorite! I also added 1/4 C. milk and used about 3 Tbsp. of vanilla (fat-free) pudding mix. Brought them back to the texture we all love and moistened them up a bit. It was a complete fake-out for all who tried them...they had NO IDEA they were fat-free. Definitely making these again!!!

Very good muffins! =) I made a few changes to make it a little healthier. I added 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour, added about 2 tsp flaxseed and 2 tsp wheat germ, I didn't use all the suger so I added just a few drops of honey to the wet liquids. I also added a little vanilla for taste and about 2 tsp of applesauce and an extra banana because my batter was a little too thick. This made them perfect texture though. I suggest freezing them so you can leave one out the night before if you want one for breakfast or if you want one for lunch you can grab it from the freezer and it will thaw out by lunch! Plan on making lots more of these.

i just finished pulling the last batch out of the oven! i was pleasantly surprised with how great these tasted! although there isn't much flavor at first, it finishes up with a nice kick to it! however, i did have to make several modifications. first, instead of 2 bananas, i used 4(i may even use 5 the next time i make these,) and i used 3 eggs instead of 2. Also, i only used 1/2 a cup of sugar, but sprinkled about a tablespoon over the recipe before putting them in the oven. I also added a teaspoon of vanilla and some cinnamon. i eyeballed the cinnamon, but i think it amounted to about a teaspoon and a half. also, i didn't have any muffin tins on hand, so i simply plopped the dough on a cookie sheet using table spoons(the big kind you put on the table,) and baked the muffin tops for 10-11 minutes at 375 degrees. This was a great recipe, it was extremely easy, and even the pickiest of my younger siblings enjoy them!

These were great! The only problem was I mixed the liquids with the dry stuff the day ahead. It came out with a wet look, when I findally baked it, in the next morning. Very delious, and tasteful. I didn't have nutmeg, so I substituded a pumkin spice. I also used vanilla yogurt for lotos-intorent reasons, instead of milk, which also could've gave it that wet look.

I followed this recipe as written and have to say they were very good. I used a pan that makes only 8 muffins and I sprinkled the tops with some sugar. They had huge tops and looked liked gourmet store-bought muffins. But,I couldn't eat a whole one at one time. I have tried many banana muffin recipes and although these were not the most moist, they were a nice change. I will make them again and I will try adding an additional banana and make them as bite-size muffins. I really enjoy reading the comments that you all make and learning about your revisions and suggestions.

These were great! I used 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour + 1/2 AP flour, added 1/2 cup apple sauce, 1/2 tsp. almond and vanilla extract, used 4 bananas, and used splenda instead of sugar. Also dropped dough by the spoonful onto a greased cookie sheet, so I got muffin tops. YUM!

Really yummy! Mine were a tad bit on the dry side, so next time I'll be sure to add another banana to the batter, and probably some walnuts. A great, healthy recipe!

These look so pretty, but were too heavy and chewy for my taste. I added 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce and 1 tsp vanilla since other reviewers said they came out dry, so maybe I added too much liquid, but their consistency was really dense, and they stuck to the papers really badly.

Good recipe for a healthier treat! I also added 1 tbs vanilla, 1/4 tbs nutmeg, 3 tbs applesauce, and 2 tbs rice dream. The inside stayed moist while outside was firmer, but this gave it a unique texture. If this wasnt a lower fat recipe i would still rate it 4 stars.

My family absolutely loved these muffins. I added a 1/4 cup of milk because the batter was kind of thick, I also mixed a little bit of oats and brown sugar and put it on the top of the muffins before putting them in the oven. Thanks for the great low fat recipe.
