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.

Awesome. There were delicious and moist. They disappeared so quickly. I read the other reviews and then made the following changes: 1/2 the butter, 3/4 cup of sugar (into which I subbed a little brown sugar) and doubled the amount of instant coffee. The mocha was subtle but you could taste it. I also used half whole wheat flour and half regular. I thought these were just right. Best muffin recipe I've found - they are my "go to" now.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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.

These were great! Used less sugar and chocolate chips and substituted yogurt and oil for the 1 cup butter. Two medium bananas were enough.

These are good banana muffins, great texture and flavor. I was disappointed that I couldn't really taste the coffee. Like another reviewer did, I used Kaluha (mocha flavor) instead of the water. If I make these again, I think I will increase the coffee to 2 Tbsp. and use the Kaluha. My husband took these to his office and they were a huge hit!

I made these with the help of my daycare children and during the fiasco, I managed to accidentally leave the butter in the microwave. As I was getting out the first batch, I realized this and was very bummed. But guess what? These still turned out marvelous without all that fat! I used 2 Tb coffee with 2Tb water. Next time I make this, I will use some butter, but def not as much as was called for. Yummmm

This is an amazing recipe. My bananas must've been small as my batter was a bit dry, so I had to add 1/4 cup of milk for it to come together (didn't have a 4th banana to mash up). I will definitely make it again! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

These really are wonderful. The flavor is complex and delicious. They freeze well. Nuke two frozen muffins for a minute and they taste oven fresh.

I have made this recipe several times and received nothing but positive feedback from those who eat them. They are perfectly moist, almost like a cake when baked properly. I will make these many times more.
