Have made this recipe three times now. Made a double batch this time because my kids just polish them off too quick otherwise. Nice healthy option compared to other muffin recipes. The whole family loves them! - 07 Jul 2012
I love this recipe! But I take 1/3 of the sugar out and add a big swig of honey. It gives a beautiful flavour! - 19 Mar 2015
I was looking for a lower fat/calorie banana bran muffin so I modified this in combination with another low fat bran muffin recipe. I substituted the butter for 1/4c unsweetened applesauce, only used 1 egg, halved the sugar to 1/4c, increased the wheat bran to 1c and used 1/2c each of wheat flour and all purpose flour. The sweetness was just perfect for me (the banana gives a lot of sweet flavor) and so moist! Each muffin turns out to be about 100 calories, so we're free to munch on them guiltless! The first batch I made used only 2 bananas and 1/2c applesauce, this was a little dryer than using 3 bananas and 1/4c applesauce, but still good! - 04 Aug 2004 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
