WONDERFUL! Dense, not light, but still cakey, and a really strong banana flavor. Great recipe, and so healthy, thanks!

These turned out great! The muffins were tasty, dense, but cakey. The recipe yielded 15 large muffins for me. Yummy and healthy!

Great muffins, I am working with a new to me, old stove, who's temp is not very consistent, so ended up pulling the muffins out a little early, (30 min),so on the cooling racks put them back in the hot oven for 10min, now they have a great crispy exterior shell, even better , also used raisins not chocolate chips
