Shari2, we here in North Carolina really enjoyed your banana bran soy muffins! I used regular milk instead of soy milk and grape jelly(what I had on hand) instead of prune butter. Thanks for a yummy recipe!

Good hearty muffin, not very sweet, with no added fat. Nice with a cup of coffee. I used vanilla soy milk and would probably double the brown sugar for our tastes. Instead of all-purpose flour, I use half unbleached all-purpose and half white whole wheat. Would check at 15 minutes to make sure they're not overcooked. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

These were a surprising combination, but very good. I made a few substitutions: whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour and Splenda for the brown sugar. Next time I think I will add the brown sugar as it probably adds more flavor. Otherwise, a great recipe! Thanks!
