    I made these with a few mods. I left out the walnuts(alergies), I used 1/4cup reg. brown sugar & 1/4cup splenda brown sugar, I used 1TBS oil instead of 2, I used 1TBS cinn., only a sprinkle salt (dont even need that though), also used light cream.I also melted the choc. and drizzled evenly ontop. - 2/16/11

    i had one very ripe banana to use, but only a 6 cup muffin tin, thus i omitted the egg from my batch. i didn't use walnuts, just preference, but they turned out nice. only had mini m&ms so put a few on top rather than chocolate chips in the batter. - 5/9/09
