These were SO good! I used all whole wheat flour, Splenda & added 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips. I also added 1 tsp cinn & got about 10 jumbo muffins. Great banana flavor too without being overly sweet. I did end up using almost 2 cups mashed bananas--black ones have the BEST flavor! Thanks so much for sharing!!

Like another reviewer, we used whole wheat flour and splenda- turned out to be delicious! Thanks.

A great healthy muffin! I used 1/2 all-purpose flour and 1/2 whole wheat; 1/2 cup of wheat bran 1/2 cup of wheat germ instead of oat bran; added 1 ts of cinnamon. Mashed the bananas sort of carelessly, so I was left with a few lumps. Lovely, just-sweet-enough flavour, and I really like the texture. Next time I might add some diced apple, just to up the yumminess factor even further! Thank you for sharing!
