Made with my DS this afternoon to use up two old banana's - this was just the ticket! I used two egg whites in place of the egg and reduced-sugar maple syrup. We made 24 perfect mini-muffins - baked them for 16 minutes. DH hasn't been able to stay out of them! I didn't have any coriander, but wish I had added it. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders tag game.

Fantastic! I used white flour cause I don't have ww flour. I also seem to have lost my walnuts so used pecans instead. I made mini muffins which took about 14 mins and regular ones that took 18 mins. I too didn't use the glaze, but only because I couldn't find maple-butter. I will be making these many times over!

I made them right by the recipe except for the butter glaze abs walnut halves. I love the addition of the coriander! Great touch. These muffins are sweet on the restrained side..more fruit sweet than sugar sweet which, again, is perfect. They are fluffy and beautifully moist (with 2 banana's how could they not be?). I might have preferred the walnuts in bigger than minced pieces but that is personal preference and in no way a recipe fault. Super easy to make and mine were done to a turn in the 15 mins. Can't wait to have one with a cup of Earl Gray Vanilla! YUMMM. Made for 1-2-3 Tag.
