These are definately healthy which I like about this recipe, but have to agree that a leavening agent is missing as they didn't rise much and turned out flat. However very simple to make, healthy and the flavor is pretty good!

These were a huge hit here and enjoyed by me along with my co-workers. The results were just bursting with flavor and had a wonderful consistency - crispy on the outside with a dense and fruity interior. I made three modifications; two a matter of personal preference, the other to possibly correct a recipe omission. Did not see a leavening agent in the ingredients so I added 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder which was just the right amount. The other changes were smaller were using 1/2 splenda for the sugar and adding a dash of cinnamon which works so well in both banana and bran muffins. Thanks for posting. Made for *Pick a Chef - Sping 2008*.
