Fantastic recipe!! Haven't changed a thing except I always make it as a loaf instead of cupcakes and it turns out perfectly every time!

I altered the recipe like so many reviews said to do: I used 1 cup applesauce instead of margarine, 3/4 cups of sugar, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, and I don't buy instant coffee so I brewed 1 cup of coffee and put it all in the muffins. Since the muffins were so watery (due to the coffee) I increased the flour to 2 1/2 cups (half whole wheat and half white flour.) The muffins were delicious but since I used brewed coffee, I couldn't taste the coffee, also, the muffins came out too soft. But to be fair, that wasn't the recipe's fault, it was just my error in judgment. I will definitely make them again, but next time with instant coffee. Great recipe! The muffins were delicious!

Good, but I couldn't taste the mocha flavor at all. Will use more instant coffee next time for sure!

I really loved these muffins. After reading many of the reviews, I made a few changes to make them a little healthier. I used 3/4 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup of canola oil in place of the margerine, upped the coffee to 2.5 tbs dissolved in the same amount of water, used only 1 cup of sugar and used whole wheat pastry flour (that was all I had). They turned out very, very moist with a strong mocha flavour and kind of a background banana flavour. Will definitely be making these again soon.

One of the BEST muffin recipes ever! I stuck a Nestle chocolate melt ontop of each to give them an extra chocolate hit ;) Will try adding more coffee next time.

Great recipie- have them in the oven right now bu7t with some tweeking - 2 eggs, not one, about a quarter cup of oil and without the coffee and they are fantastic. I highly recommend Milk Chocolate chips for preference.

These muffins are AMAZING! My younger brother said that these should have six stars. ;) I did take the advice of some of the other cooks and added about double the coffee. I also reduced the butter by 4-6 T. or so and added some milk as it was pretty thick. I did about 1/3 wheat flour and cut back the sugar (3/4 white and 1/4 brown). I also put some sliced almonds on top, which added a nice touch. They are great. So dessert-like that they're almost too sweet for a breakfast. They would be great for a brunch.

I'm not a huge fan of banana muffins/bread, so I'm probably not a good reviewer for these, but everyone else liked them a lot. They were pretty good.

Only thing i did differently was to add an extra TB of instant coffee, even with that change the mocha flavor was subtle. It is a delicious muffin.

I followed the review that used 1 c. applesauce and 1/4 c. oil. Seemed thick, so I added about 1/4 c. milk. After I baked them and we had fallen in love, I realized that I forgot to add sugar!!! As in, I added NO SUGAR!!! I guess the applesauce and choc. chips were sweet enough. The best muffins I've had in ages.

My family enjoyed these muffins. Like some of the other reviewers, I made a few substitutions to make them a bit healthier. I used 1/2 cup butter,and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce instead of the 1 cup margarine, I used egg substitute and instead of all of that sugar, I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup Splenda. I also substituted instant expresso for instant coffee. The muffins were moist but were still too sweet for our tastes, I will cut back more on the sugar/sweetener next time! I think they can use a little more texture, I might add some oatmeal next time!!

Delicious, but FOLLOW OTHER REVIEWS!! I did as recommended using only 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup applesauce and 1/4 c. of oil instead of margarine as well as using 4 tbsp. of coffee instead of one. Turned out wonderfully moist and not too sweet. I can see why some would be disappointed with this recipe as is.

A hit with even my picky eaters who don't usually eat breads and cookies. I did add a bit extra coffee flavor as the others had suggested. Very good.

These muffins were real easy to make and very moist and delicious. I had read some reviews before making it so I doubled the amount of instant coffee to 2 TBS but felt that still wasn't enough. I couldn't tast the coffee flavor at all so next time I make these I might increase to 4 TBS. They still tasted like very yummy banana muffins just not enough coffee flavor if you follow the recipe to the tee.

Until today I have always made these with either strong brewed espresso or strong coffee instead of using the instant coffee granules. Using just coffee, these muffins make an awesome banana chocolate chip muffin, no hint of a mocha taste (we usually use a cream cheese filling - similiar to black bottom cup cakes!). Bought the instant espresso granules at Wal Mart, of all places, and used those tonight. The muffin had a good mocha taste. Not sure which I like better, both ways are really good!
