I never did this before, but I just had to add to my previous review. These are so good, so easy to prepare, I now make them every time I have bananas that are getting too ripe. Last night I made them with some chopped walnuts in them. I put them on a plate on the kitchen counter, and the family just grabs them in passing....they disappear quickly!!

Very nice muffin! I only had one banana so I halved the recipe. A few conversion hints: a 200 degree CELCIUS oven is 392 degrees FAHRENHEIT or pretty close to a 400 degree F oven temperature. 100 g of butter translates to 6 Tbsp. +2 tsp. (but I used less ~ 2 Tbsp. for my halved amount). It turned out great. (The halved recipe made seven muffins.) Thanks!

I was looking for a recipe to use up some leftover bran flakes cereal. I'm so glad I tried this one! They turned out so delicious, and with a minimal amount of fats or sugar. Thanks for sharing, will make these again!

This is a great recipe. I used coconut oil in place of butter and reduced the sugar a tiny bit, the first time. The second time I used less sugar and coconut oil again, and used shredded Apple instead of banana. I also added dried cranberries and raisins. These are great morning snacks, and my kids love them. Thanks!

Great muffins! We needed to use up 2 bananas and some oat bran so this recipe was perfect in using up the ingredients plus taste great! And healthier than some other recipes too! Thanks for sharing!
