These were fantastic, I added 1/2 cup of applesauce and 1/2 cup of rolled oats to the recipe. The muffins turned out moist, packed with flavour and what can I say about the chocolate chips.....

These muffins were delicious! VERY MOIST!! I took the other reviewers advice and added the applesauce and oatmeal - it was wonderful! I also increased the chocolate chips to 1/2 cup - I'm a chocoholic! I will definately make these again. I also found that it only took 25 minutes to cook in my oven. Thanks for posting

Delish!!! So easy to make, will make these again and again! Followed the recipe exactly... however, mine were done in 25 minutes. Light and not too sweet ~ just perfect!

These were fantastic!! Easy, fluffy, moist, and very tasty! I added only 1/4 cup each of sugar, brown sugar, and chocolate chips. I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and an extra 1/2 tsp of baking soda so they were lighter. Made 12 beautiful, fragrant muffins. My family agreed that these were the best banana muffins we've ever had -- and we've been using family recipes for years. Thank you for the wonderful and healthy recipe!

This recipe was the BOMB! I just happened acrossed it and thought I'd give it a try for it's simplicity. Most of the stuff I attempt comes from a mix, so this was definately something new. It turned out fantastic! I added the chips into each individual muffin cup at half-full, then added more on top when filled. Half a dozen with chopped walnuts on top, half just the chips. They were done in only 20 min. Totally fantastic! Thanks again!
