Fantastic! I used 3.5 bananas from the freezer and used brown sugar instead of white. These are delicious! ***Don't forget to add 2 eggs - they are missing from the list but are in the breakdown. I made these into 12 muffins.

Going off the .17 eggs per serving, the recipe calls for 2 eggs....so at least we know that they are included in the nutritional information. - 4/8/11

I put in 2 eggs too, and used silicone muffin pans and they came out fine. Maybe I'll add some vanilla next time, or walnuts or (gasp) chocolate chips! - 12/15/09

One of those recipes that turn out unexpectedly good!
I also used 2 eggs, and baked the bread in the pan I usually use for brownies. - 10/12/07

Used multi-purpose gluten free flour and added some walnuts this time & used 2 eggs again. As I was making the recipe this time I noticed that the flax seed is not mentioned in the directions (something I had not noticed before) & I added it with the flour. - 10/4/07

This is a great recipe. I make it as 12 muffins - makes a great filing, hearty breakfast. Sometimes I add 1/2 cup of raisins or 1 cup blueberries - 3/17/07

This is a flavorful, heavy bodied bread. I baked my in a bundt cake stoneware pan. Individual pieces froze well for additions to lunches later. - 3/10/07
