I thought they were wonderful and I'm not a huge fan of bananas. Didn't have muffin pans (we r packing for a move) so I just sprayed a 9 x 13 pan and poured the batter in there and cut into 16 servings. They came out very easily and tasted great. Will def make again... and highly recommend. - 6/11/09

Tip for making great baked goods: don't over mix the ingredients or you will get a chewy, dried product. - 6/22/09

I just chopped up some of my 80% dark chocolate bar instead of the semi-sweet chips.I found it necessary to use the 1/2 reg.flour for texture.All ww flour seemed to be dry.I also add 1 tbl. flameal for fiber...Chef Jim - 5/10/09

These are good for the calories, but I had a few problems with them. First, they stuck badly to the paper liners - next time I'll use PAM. Secondly, they need some salt. When I added a little salted butter to one the other night, it greatly improved the taste. Next time I'll add salt. - 11/17/07

these turned out awesome! and it's the easiest recipe....mix everything together and bake! i made this both as a 9x13 cake, and 16 muffins. i sprayed the baking dish(es) and they turned out great. my only sub was 1/2 C. raw sugar in place of splenda, i don't care for artificial sweeteners. - 8/24/09

These are so awesome!!! My kids love them. I used a tbsp flax seed, wheat germ and added some oatmeal to them. Also, used egg whites instead of eggs! Total hit in our home! Used rice milk because I have a lactose intolerant child! Great! - 2/8/10

I used Reynold's foil liners and these released perfectly. Good flavor, but a little tough/more firm than "regular muffins" (to be expected in low fat/no sugar added baked items) They pack well in a lunch bag! I will be making these often! - 4/22/09

After reading lots of reviews I added a little cinnamon to these, was careful to mix only until dough was moistened and filled the muffins a little fuller - for 12 regular size. This is EXCELLENT!!! I LOVE them. Thanks for sharing! :) - 4/13/10

Yummy! I used milk chocolate chips and peach flavored applesauce. I made 2 batches of mini muffins - total of 36 - 3 per serving. Bake time is shortened for the mini muffins. Do not overbake or they are chewy and a little tough, but the flavor was still exceptional! - 5/11/09

Pretty good. My family liked them. I'm still getting used to baked items using wheat flour as the consistency is just different. The flavor was good and recipe made 18 muffins for me, so I froze 6 for later in the month. Good for dessert, snack or as breakfast! - 6/8/09

Question - has anyone has tried using pumkin instead of banana, and making them pumkin chocolate chip muffins? I'm not a big baker, and don't know what substitues go with or don't go with others, so I'm just wondering... These sound marvelous though! - 12/5/08

I just made these for the 2nd time and they were SOOOOO good! First time I overmixed them and they were a bit chewy. This time I mixed ingredients until they were just combined and it came out fantastic! I also skipped the splenda this time and in my opinion they taste better.
