     I added apple sauce & walnuts instead of oil. Added 3 med bananas instead of 2. Family enjoyed it. Easy & quick. We made mini muffins & froze the rest for a quick snack. - 1/31/09

     I substituted 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce for the oil, used nonfat milk and, based on the previous comments, made 8 good-sized muffins instead of 6 huge ones. Those changes dropped the calories to 155 and the fat to 0.6 grams. Wonderful!! Boys loved them! - 2/9/08

     absolutely delicious! I didn't have a muffin tin so I made it in an 8 inch round cake pan, which gave 8 generous servings. I made a couple of substitutions - unsweetened applesauce for the oil and skim milk instead of 1%. - 10/8/07

     I made these for my family of 6 sons; 1st time using olive oil in baking, and wheat flour too. They loved them as much as my usual recipe! Double Batch, gone in one day! Note: doesn't have a strong banana flavor for those who LOVE bananas, may want more banana. - 8/4/07

     These are great as recipe goes, but change it up abit and lower those calories. Use Splenda not sugar, adjust it according to directions on Slenda box. Also 1/2 the oil and use 1/2 cup apple sauce (unsweetened). They turned out better than the original recipe. Even my 7 yr old g-son wanted more. - 8/15/07
  • MINDFULME2017
     Excellent! I used applesauce instead of oil. I used 1/2 C wheat flour and 1 C White Flour. I added 1/4 t of nutmeg and 1/4 tsp cinnamon.
    Try adding peanut butter to a warm one. Yum! - 5/24/09

     I made a few modifications to make it a bit healthier. Replaced the sugar with maple syrup, added 1/4 cup flaxseed mill in place of some of the flour, and used silk instead of milk. Over all, they were quick and pretty tasty! Next time i'm going to add nuts and oatmeal (in place of some flour)! - 2/2/09
  • GEORGIANNE1
     I eliminated sugar, increased bananas to 4, added 1/4 chopped dried dates. Best 'sugar-free' muffin out there! - 9/11/09
  • CASSILICIOUS
     These were AMAZING. Doubled the recipe and it made 18 "normal" size muffins. So moist for whole wheat flour. Not heavy at all. Next time will try adding walnuts. Will make again and again and again. - 6/4/07
  • MRS_HBE
     These muffins were HUGE - you could probably make at least 9 regular size muffins from the recipe, so you are getting a lot of filling food for the 276 calories - much more than many other recipes I've tried! - 5/6/07
  • OREGONGRANDMA
     I will make them today since I have bananas that need to be used up. I will use splenda instead of the sugar or eliminate the sugar altogether. I will also add almond pieces. Also I will add some ground flax to the dry ingredients for more fiber (ground flax is undetectable). - 1/31/09
  • MARLOTTA
     Never could leave a recipe alone. I used 1/2 c. applesauce +1t.olive oil, brown sugar Splenda, cranraisins instead of raisins, dash of nutmeg and cinnamon, 1/2c.whole oats +1c. flour and passed on the milk. They can make good moist cookies for the youngins Very yummy. I will make these again. - 9/11/09
  • SUNNY332
     I like the idea of adding different ingredients to this recipe - apples, carrotts and maybe even dried crandberries. This will be fun as I love muffins - especially on days I have to hurry off to work.

  • THREEWHALES
     Made these last night. Very easy 30 minutes start to finish. I added 1/4 almonds pieces and I used golden raisins in this recipe. The golden raisins are less intense that dark raisins. Made 12 muffins. Will definitely be making this again and again. Yum!!! - 10/29/08
  • BLAZERMIE48
     Exceptionally easy to make!! Even without eggs or baking powder, they rose beautifully! Probably would work equally well substituting other fruits for the raisins. Bananas were not overpowering but blended well with the sweetness of the raisins. This Is A KEEPER! - 2/13/09
  • GAEA3070
     I would add some extra banana or applesauce instead of that much oil but that's me. I use oil only for flavor. - 1/31/09
  • JUNEFRIDAY
     It made 10 for me (I used 3 bananas) and I added some nutmeg. Easy. - 8/4/08
  • TANYA19761
     I can't wait to try them, I will use splenda instead of sugar, add blue berried and shredded carrats and use unsweetened applesauce instead of oil. - 5/12/09
  • LADNIER6
     This is similar to my recipe that I have used for years, although I'm not sure about olive oil in a desert type recipe. I use unsweet apple sauce and three bananas. - 1/31/09
  • LEHMANCUNY
     Super easy to make, I added in a handful of pecans and it took 3 bananas to make a cup...made 12 muffins because my tins are smallish. A keeper! - 1/31/09
  • BILLER70
     My family loved these muffins. I use unsweetened applesauce instead of oil and 3 medium bananas instead of 2. I also made them a little smaller and got more than a dozen muffins. Great recipe! - 7/21/09
  • HDKATHY
     Very moist. I used Splenda instead of sugar and unsweetened applesauce instead of olive oil the 2nd time I made them, with slightly more bananas and chopped walnuts too. Delicious both ways. - 2/1/08
  • MAMAAIDAN
     With some health changes... I subtracted 1/4 C flour, added 1/4 C wheat bran, added 2T flax seed meal, and added 1 egg. Just for fun I added chopped crabapples that I stole from the squirrels in our back yard. EVERYONE in the house loved them, including a one-year-old and a toddler. Not too sweet - 9/13/07
  • REFLEXNRESOLVE
     I always make a double batch, they go so quickly! - 3/26/07
  • BLUECAMEO
     These are the most awsome muffins ever.
    My husband saw the recipe and he made them. - 1/31/09
