These banana muffins have the banana added in three ways, mashed, diced and dried. They also include muesli and coconut.
this is one of my favorite barefoot contessa recipes. the only thing you should edit is part 2 in the directions: the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt should be sifted before mixed. the melted butter should then be added and blended. and lastly, the eggs, milk, vanilla, and mashed bananas should be combined...then added to the flour/butter mixture. these changes will make quite a differnce in the outcome of these muffins...they are fabulous! - 29 Jun 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Wow....what a great recipe. I made some modifications as others suggested: I used 1 cup whole wheat flour and 2 cups of white flour; used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar; substituted buttermilk for the milk. I also decided to add 1/4 cup wheat germ. Be certain though to properly combine the ingredients as mentioned in a previous review - dry ingredients mixed first, melted butter added to the dry ingredients. Combine the eggs, milk, and vanilla and add next. Finally, fold in mashed bananas, chopped bananas, granola, nuts, coconut, and wheat germ. This recipe is a keeper!! - 20 Mar 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Fabulous. My whole family loves these--I added more bananas than called for and instead of granola, I used oats. delicious! - 28 Oct 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
