Oh so good! My kids snarfed them down, leaving me only 1! It took about 2 bananas to make the 1.5 cups. I used my KAM and frozen blueberries (lightly dusted with flour to keep them from sticking together), which added about 5 minutes to the baking time. Thank you for sharing this healthy recipe! Made for Spring PAC 09.

We enjoyed these muffins very much. I especially liked that they were made more healthy. I often like to replace regular flour with some whole wheat flour, so this recipe really caught my eye. In the directions, it did not say whether to mix by hand or a mixer. I usually prepare muffins by creaming the butter and sugar together first, in a mixer. For this recipe, I assumed it meant to do it all by hand. It seemed to work just fine! Next time I make these, I think I will try adding some applesauce because I'd like my muffins to be a little bit sweeter (and still healthy) and moister. Thanks for posting your healthy creation. It made 13 really BIG muffins! ~Made for Spring PAC~
