Very delicious and moist muffins - what a great way to use up old, black bananas! I doubled the recipe and made 24 regular muffins and 20 mini-muffins. You could even add more chocolate chips if you want to and nuts would be great in these as well. Made for Went To The Market tag game. Thanks Deantini! :)

I used Splenda for the sugar and fat free sour cream in place of the yogurt because thats what I had on hand. They came out spectacular and delicious with just following the directions as written. We have a real keeper here. Thyu came out of the oven just before dark so I know that I'll finish my "Test Muffin" for dessert. :D

Yummy! I love quick and simple recipes in the summer (who wants to be in a hot kitchen when it's so nice out?). The changes I made was to use sour cream in lieu of the yogurt (on hand), and bake for 25 minutes because I used my jumbo muffin tin. I halved the recipe (using 1 whole egg) and got 10 jumbo muffins. I smeared mine with butter and next time will add some chopped pecans. Made for PRMR, thanks for sharing the recipe. :)

Another winner by Deantini here!! The only slight change was I used two whole eggs as I just automatically cracked both into the batter without stopping and thinking. These are so moist and really fully of nice flavor. My son devoured them. I think when I make them again I'm going to reduce the sugar just a bit like Lalaloula suggested just to try to help keep the sugar content down as the bananas were so sweet on their own. Just a perfectly wonderful recipe! Thanks for sharing during Went To the Market tag game.

These muffins are so yummy and moist. I used canola oil instead of butter. And 2 eggs cause I didn't want to use an egg white. Thanks Deantini :) Made for 123 hit wonders
