These really should be 4 1/2 stars, but that is how I feel about them. I think it would have made the muffins even more moist if there was another banana in them, but otherwise a tasty and guilt free pleasure.

These are very moist and flavorful, and I really like that they use no white four and are both low in carbs/sugars and fat. I know I will make this often, as we enjoy home baked things occasionally for breakfast and this is so tasty. Good luck in the contest! ~Sue

No one needs to know how healthy and low fat these moist, fruity muffins are. What a wonderful combination of flavors! I made 6 jumbo muffins in liners and 3 smaller, regular-size muffins. All divinely delicious!

These were just delicious and were a hit in the break room this morning. Two co-workers even asked for the recipe, a definite good sign as they try many Zaar recipes. Just a wee too sweet for me, might take out 1 or 2 tablespoons of sugar. They were sooooo moist I found they needed closer to 20 minutes to bake. My preparation included eliminating 1/2 the oil and replacing it with applesauce. Good luck with RSC#12.

I thought I was going to love these, but unfortunately I felt they were too sweet yet bland otherwise. Perhaps increasing the vanilla, using less Splenda, and adding cinnamon would do the trick.
