I chose this recipe because the mayonnaise in it made it sound intriguing.
I started out, intending to make it exactly as described, because I'm not keen on reviewing a recipe after I've changed it.
But when I got halfway through, I found out my mayo had expired, and I was suddenly left with half-finished muffins. So I looked up mayo substitutes, and found a website that said you can use applesauce.
So I swapped out the mayo for applesauce. I used a 1:1 ratio, and mixed it with the banana before adding to the dry ingredients. It did come out rather thick for a muffin batter, so I also added a splash of milk to thin it to a nice muffin-y consistency. Nowhere near the 1 cup someone else mentioned. I also added about 1/4 tsp of nutmeg, just because I could.
I'm still giving it 5 stars. The bottom part was a little on the chewy side, but that could have been the applesauce. They were, regardless of the changes, exellent muffins!!
And as an added bonus: I had about 1/2 cup batter remaining after I filled my muffin cups, so I set it aside and fed it to my 8-month old as a treat! (I didn't use the optional chocolate chips)
