I added some fruit and walnuts . Added chunks of bananas too . Delicious. Vanilla extract and maple syrup are not whole 30 compliant . But ,hey, if you are not doing the whole 30 these are good too. Easy to make .
Stephen Peters
These muffins were so delicious and easy to make. Baked to a slight crunchiness on outside. I did add chopped walnuts and almonds. Good with sliced strawberries too.
Janice Carroll
For a Whole 30 recipe, this is actually really good. For those on the thread suggesting to add vanilla to the recipe, that is NOT Whole 30 compliant.
Sandra Brown
I read every single review and opted to add blueberries, vanilla and cinnamon. The bananas were wildly ripe and honestly, these are borderline terrible. I don’t add salt to food and all I can taste is salt. So perhaps if you’re someone who enjoys that taste, these are for you? I would not recommend or make again, I’d rather eat blueberries and bananas solo. Disappointed.
Carolyn Dudley
Excellent
William Taylor
Simply delish, tastes like dessert. I added a little vanilla, cinnamon and about one quarter cup of chopped walnuts. Thanks for the recipe!
Glenda Smith
I loved these I also added blueberries to mine and my whole family loves them!
Sara Stuart DVM
They turned out really good. I added two more ripe bananas, 1tsp cinnamon, 1/4 cup walnuts, 2 Tbls raisins and 1 tsp vanilla extract. I cooked them for about 20-25 min. The texture is good. The flavor was good for me but the bananas need to be very ripe. For whole30 maintenance they are excellent!
Richard Thomas
I really liked this recipe because of the whole foods used. I added a banana, so three altogether, walnuts, a little maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon. They were delicious. They are mild flavored, not like something with sugar, so if you are looking for mild they are great!
Jasmine Stout
Easy, wonderful recipe! I would call them muffins instead of biscuits though. I added cinnamon, 1 packet of stevia, and a tablespoon of psyllium. (Another reviewer suggested the psyllium, & why not have good fiber?). I sprinkled the tops with cinnamon & a little monk fruit sweetener, and placed a pecan half in the middle. I baked them in a silicon (heart-shaped) muffin pan but did have a little bit of trouble getting them out. They were almost too moist, probably because my bananas were large & extremely ripe. I look forward to making these again, tweeking more. I will post a picture.

I absolutely love these as a healthier option for something that is like a muffin for breakfast. They also freeze well!
Shawn Howard
good god these were disgusting. dry, bland, and torturous to eat. Like a mouth full of wet sand from the polluted beach shores south of Houston. Please don’t waste your time or ingredients. I can’t believe other people actually liked these. I added cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. I don’t like sugar, so the lack of sweetness was not the problem. what a waste.
Samuel Smith
These are delicious! I’ve tried subbing out coconut oil for pumpkin and unsweetened applesauce with cinnamon, great ways to make it more seasonal. The perfect amount of sweetness – I typically bake closer to 22-25 minutes. I typically make a batch and freeze them to enjoy as I get the craving! Thank you for sharing!!
Crystal Cabrera
Life saver on Whole 30! I would cut one in half and put a smashed raspberry or two in the middle when I ate it; so yummy! Only thing was a teaspoon is too much salt for this recipe; next time I’ll cut that in half….thanks for sharing!
Cynthia Johnson
So I did half organic coconut flour and half organic all purpose flour, 2 bananas and the rest of the recipe as followed. Way too doughy. I don’t know if this is because I didn’t use almond flour, but they just taste like balls of dough. I think it needs about 4 bananas for 3.5 cups of flour. However, with almond flour-perhaps they would have turned out better. I will try again and see.
Jennifer Williams
I made these and they are amazing! I’m on my second round of Whole 30 and REALLY needed something different. I did add whole 30 approved vanilla. I love the idea of spreading almond butter and banana on it.
Brendan Garrett
Light and fluffy! Not very sweet, so I added cinnamon and vanilla! I also made a few with some natural chocolate chips (obviously not Whole30) and some with some raisins.
Dr. Nicole Tucker
I made these in my mini muffin pan with paper liners; it yielded 24 mini muffins. Baked for 13 minutes. They came out moist and everyone loved them!
Michael White
These tasted great in my opinion! I did exactly as instructions said. I don’t bake often but they were light, moist, sweet and flavorful. I felt really healthy eating them! I made the mistake of making 9 instead of 12 so the very middle didn’t cook as properly as it should but overall great recipe.
Kelsey Middleton
I added 1/4 c honey and another banana, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. Delightful!! Next time will increase the spices. Lovely subtle flavor :).
Hayley Ruiz
I thought that the cookies came out a bit dry. I also think they need more bananas and/or sugar.
