I'm trying out banana bread/muffin recipes and this was the second time I've made these. The first time I followed the recipe exactly only I used a pan instead of making muffins. They turned out light, fluffy and moist but they stuck to EVERY SURFACE that touched the batter! The second time I used egg whites. The result was moist but more spongey and solid. I don't know anything about baking, but my guess is the egg whites did that.

Mmm, these are very good banana muffins. For being lowfat they stayed nice and moist and flavorful! The only changes I made to the recipe were to use 1/4 cup splenda in place of the sugar, and I also added 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts into the mix. They came out wonderful! Made for PAC Fall 09.
