  The flavor was good (because of the chocolate!) and I really appreciate the healthiness of this recipe, but it wasn't really like a muffin. Very heavy and gluey. I wouldn't make it again. - 1/19/14

  I just have a question. The recipe calls for 1 egg but the directions say that mixing the flaxseed with water acts as an egg substitute. So if an egg is an ingredient, why does the recipe need an egg substitute? - 11/13/12

  That's an optional change. I believe the recipe was calculated with the real egg, and the flax was mixed into the dry ingredients.

  The chocolate chips in the recipe satisfied the craving that I have had for chocolate every day. It was very gooey and did not come out of the pan cleanly. Still, very good. Best eaten warm. Just had one cold and it was not as tasty. And 14 servings? Really? Who has a 14 cup muffin tin? - 3/11/14

  Tasty - but strange texture for a muffin. Probably will not make again. - 6/9/14

  These were good, but not as muffins. I think they are more like baked oatmeal. They make a nice on-the-go breakfast that is better for you than just muffins. I'm not sure yet if I will make them again. By the way, the above picture is not at all what mine looked like and I followed the recipe. - 5/10/13

  This was by far the worst recipe. My "muffins" look nothing like the picture and taste like nothing. Also the directions are not clear. I hate wasting ingredients! #receiptfail - 8/6/14

  The only ingredient I changed was to use an egg substitute. We liked them. - 6/9/14

  I used unsweetened applesauce but added a quarter cup of cane sugar. Came out really good! Will make again and may even use less sugar. It's hard to stop eating just one but knowing that they are healthy makes me feel better about it :) - 4/30/14

  I saw that the egg was calculated in so made it with both on Monday.
  I thought these were good, but I'm not crazy about bananas, so I will be playing around and making other flavors after Thanksgiving. banana nut (for my daughter), zucchini, and apple cinnamon! - 11/17/12

  I don't believe I will be trying this as reading the ingredients, it seems to have a lot of weight with little lightness. It's not a texture we care for. Good fiber though. - 6/9/19

  Even though these were a healthy alternative they were very heavy and not much like a muffin. They needed something else to make them rise. Baking powder? Soda? Another egg? - 6/9/18

  Eat them fast, they dry out like a hockey puck, as do most healthy things. Just another made up thing to push quinoa, since it was a “thing”, several years ago. - 6/9/18

  Made these last night for my breakfast this morning. Definitely a "healthy" muffin so don't expect it to taste like store-bought muffins. It was a very dense muffin and not sweet except for the few chocolate chips. I used unsweetened applesauce (that's all I had) and brown rice flour. I like them. - 6/11/15

  These are tasty, and I like that they're healthy, but mine look nothing like those in the photo! Plus, please be specific about what to do with the bananas--slice, mush, whatever? - 9/5/14

  It most certainly seems dense! I did not use the candy, but used walnuts that I had toasted. it wasn't one of my favorite muffins, but a good breakfast one. - 6/9/14
