This is a great fat-free, sugar-free muffin recipe! Subs I made were 2 whole eggs instead of just the whites, I halved the splenda, added 1/4cup of craisins, and accidentally used wheat bran instead of germ (oops!). The muffins still turned out really good, although I think they would have been more tender with the germ. Thanks Cheryl!

OK, I'll apologize in advance to senseicheryl because I shamelessly took the basics of her recipe and took off with my own creation, and the only reason I'm writing a review is so I can save my changes. Plus I thought there might be someone else out there who would enjoy these SUPER yummy muffins. I started with the 6 banana's but I only added a 1/4 cup of brown sugar, With all those banana's these muffins have NO need for a whole cup of sugar, at least to my taste. I also used 2 whole eggs instead of the egg whites. Then instead of 2 cups of WW flour I used 1 1/2 cups plus a 1/2 cup of rolled oats and a 1/4 cup of multi grain mix I got at the farmers market for the wheat germ. I then added in a cup of raisins, a cup of shredded carrot and 2 small diced apples. These were the perfect breakfast muffins
