Whole Wheat Banana Muffins

Submitted by HealthNutz

"This is my variation of the many banana muffin recipes I have searched through. Very moist, texture is a little spongey, and the right amount of sweetness. Feel free to be liberal with the amount of bananas you add--you can't go wrong!"

These are really good. So much better than I had anticipated given the simplicity of the ingredients and how healthy they are.

My kids eat them and that's what matters!

These taste really great for being so healthy. I have to go with four stars, though, because of the sponginess and the fact that I had a hard time telling if they were done. These muffins are so dense I think they looked/felt done before they really were. (I probably baked them for about 17 min.) Thanks for the recipe, though! I'll definitely be making them again. :) UPDATE: The muffins seemed to get less spongey once I let them sit overnight. (Does that make any sense?) Anyway, I'm upping my four-star review to a five. The muffins are now moist and soft, and I love them.

Very, very good! I needed to bake them for 23 minutes at 325, but apart from that I followed the recipe as written. Moist and very banana-ey...much better than I'd expect a "healthy" muffin to taste!
