Fiber One Banana Nut Muffins

Submitted by Sky Hostess

"These are an adult healthy banana nut muffin, definitely not a kid friendly muffin. These are very dense. I found the original recipe on cooks.com but have changed it some to suit our tastes. We keep these in the freezer and then take a couple out and put them in the microwave for about 30 seconds to defrost. Sometimes for a little more sweetness I add some dried cranberries too!"

I liked the end product of these, but had a few issues with them. I doubled the recipe and put the timer on for 20 minutes since that was the shortest time given and I figured that a doubled recipe would take longer. By the time the timer went off these were burned on top. Also, I used mini chocolate chips instead of the nuts and found that it was still not very sweet, without the chocolate chips I don't think my kids would have eaten them. That said, I really enjoyed the final product and would make these again, upping the sugar a bit and cooking for a shorter amount of time. Thanks so much for posting!!
