I changed quite some of the ingredient, so I was not sure I can rate this. But since this is the 'basic recipe' I used, I must give it a thumb up. Though on my first try, it tasted a bit bland but I love thess muffins since they stayed soft after days. And it's easy to make, been making this with my 2 years old son. The canges I made is, I used whole wheat flour instead of white flour, I replaced oil with apple sauce and double the banana, and add a bit vanilla on the wet ingredients. I'm thinking to add oatmeal next time. Thank you! -
Can I just say - THANK YOU! I was planning on making something yummy for my dad tomorrow and it was a toss up between these and some cupcakes on another site. I went with the cupcakes, and ended up with 12 tasteless hockey pucks and a bit of a broken spirit. I decided to go with these muffins after chucking the others away. It's now 9:22pm and these banana muffins are in the oven - and they look AMAZING! You totally saved me with this recipe as I was out of butter and it's hard to come across a good baking recipe without it. Thank you thank you! I shoulda just made these from the start, they look great. -
I just pulled a pan out of the oven! Smells delish! I did make some changes, but minor. I added some nutmeg, I'm going to guess about 1/3 tsp. I found that I love nutmeg! I also baked these in a larger muffin tin, so i got 6 large sized muffins and cooked about 20 minutes maybe 25 I have to admit I wasn't paying attention haha. They are a nice golden colour, and the fork I inserted (no toothpicks here :() came out clean. Can't wait until they are cooled! -
awesome recipe! I used half apple and half banana and they came out great! nice consistancy and flavor.

I am in 6th grade now and wanted my own account because most of the time my opinion is different from my family's. I also wanted to get a taste of what my Mom is doing for so many hours a day!
I like baseball, reading, and other sports too. I hope this website will inspire me to cook someday.
Admittedly, I'm the pickiest eater in our family but I enjoy new things. i
Pet peeves: we don't have any pets, I hate my seasonal allergies, and people who are insensitive to others in need.
