These were very good......just took them out of the oven, spread butter on half of one, and enjoyed! Just like eating the banana bran bread that I make. <br/>I did add some ground pecans and some mini chocolate chips because I made them for my grandson. I'm always looking for healthy recipes for him.......he likes muffins but doesn't know what's in them......which is why I get away with the ground nuts...Ha! I also sprinkled a tiny bit of sugar on the tops which gave them a sweet crusty top.<br/>Thanks for giving me a new recipe......glad I tried it. Donna
