This recipe was wonderful, I cut back on the sugar and added the maple syrup and a dash of freshly grated cinnamon stick and also 2 tblsp sour cream for added moisture and topped them with some finely crushed walnuts for appearance and they came out wonderful, a keeper for sure

So yummy! So easy! I used unbleached white whole wheat flour. I also used only 1/4 amount of sugar and added about 2T. pure maple syrup to the wet ingredients. Made mini muffins and the kids couldn't get enough! New family fave!

This was a great recipe to follow. Had to use pecans instead of the walnuts due to the fact that there was no walnuts in the pantry. Still came out good. Would use riper bananas and three instead of just two. Would make it moist also.
