This recipe is a great go-to for those browning bananas. I'm always hesitate to use only whole wheat flour but these turned out light and fluffy. I substituted splenda for sugar, added blueberries, and sprinkled them with chia seeds. I definitely recommend this recipe- Thanks!

Light and fluffly! I used a half cup of honey instead of sugar. I used real butter instead of margarine. I thought the whole wheat flour with no all purpose flour would create a texture I wouldn't appreciate but this is very good. Will be making them again!

Just tried this recipe. It is wonderful. I did substitute 1/2 cup of white whole wheat flour for 1/2 cup regular whole wheat flour. I also added about 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Very moist muffin. Will save this recipe to use again.

These turned out PERFECT! I used real butter instead of margarine and added vanilla and cinnamon (as per other reviews), and they were delicious! The texture was moist and it wasn't too sweet! Next time, I'll have to add in walnuts or pecans :)

I used golden Crisco instead of margarine. I also added a tablespoon of cinnamon and a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the recipe. Muffins came out perfectly in 20 minutes @ 375°. Seriously the best textured muffins I have ever made!!
