Love these! They came out so moist I was really surprised. I did add some allspice and threw in about 3 tbls of chopped nuts that I had. Easy to prepare . Made for kittencalskitchen.com recipe tag game. :)

Loved them. Very tasty and decidedly on the healthier side. I think the whole wheat flour is wonderful. I used a very scant 1/4 cup of Splenda , skim milk and added a 1/4 tsp of nutmeg. 5 stars because they are not packed with fat and and are yummy. Thanks for a very enjoyable recipe Lauralie

DELICIOUS!!! Let me start off by saying that I am not a fan of banana desserts. But, since I hate wasting food, I decided to try and bake some banana/raisin muffins for the first time ever. Well, I had all the ingredients but the whole wheat flour (will be buying it). I doubled the recipe so I could have more muffins. My babies (2 and 4), helped me put it all together. I added more vanilla and 1 more banana. I had 2 very ripe bananas and 1 ripe, spotty banana. I LOVE olive oil, so I was curious to see if the extra virgin taste of it was strong or not. Well, I baked 12 muffins for about 20 minutes (weaker oven), and they came out so pretty, brownish, delicious and moist! My "tweak" yielded 16 muffins. Thank you so much for sharing! This will be one of my favorite dessert recipes. It's healthier than the regular option to? YES, PLEASE!!

This recipe was so easy, moist and delicious. I knew I would love this recipe and doubled everything from the start. I didn't have everything so I had to sub a few items. I used regular flour instead of whole wheat, I used vanilla almond milk instead of low fat 1% milk, I added a banana because I had plenty that were very ripe (5 total). I used 1.5 cups of raisins and it came out with the right amount for me. Added a good dash of cinnamon probably a tsp or so. I was able to make muffins and a loaf. 15 mins was perfect for muffins and extra 5 for loaf. This recipe is a keeper. :)

Lovely recipe one of my regular ones now. Tweaked it slightly by adding an extra banana and whizzing it up in my blender with milk and oil I left out vanilla and added TSP of cinnamon powder, also doubled the raisins. I make smaller muffins as the first ones were huge. So nice to be able to have a juicy fruity muffin when I'm trying to eat clean. Thank you.
