Reviews
Very good. I was a little concerned due to the one review that said they were dry.I needed to use up some bananas sooo. I used pecans for the nuts and I doubled the amount because my wife and I both really like pecans. Well she didn’t know that I had doubled the recipe and added to it as well. 🙂 They came out very good. certainly better than store bought versions. Edit: I deleted the lemon zest as I am allergic to lemons.
I added 1/2 cup of choc. chips, because why not. I also upp’d the walnuts to 1/2 C and sprinkled more on the tops before baking. Yummy! I’ll make them again.
Pretty good. Is used one whole egg and one egg white. Instead of regular sugar I used Whole Earth Erythritol and monk fruit. Next time I’ll try with apple sauce instead of the oil.
These muffins came out too dense for my taste but the flavor was great. I didn’t use the zest and used 1 egg instead of egg whites.
Made these muffins, but added an extra banana & just filled 6 large muffin cups. Really moist and fluffy.
We used brown sugar, delish!
I changed it a lot lol but here’s my amazing end result if you happen that have my random list of things. Use apple butter instead of eggs and ghee in place of oil.
Delicious! Added cinnamon and swapped out a little of the white sugar for brown per several recommendations but I imagine it’s also great as is. Thanks!
I’m not sure why everyone is raving about this recipe. I found them very dry. I don’t recommend.
Made this as written, but used macadamia nuts instead of walnuts. Added some coconut to the flour mixture, and put nuts in flour mix. Added some vanilla to liquid. Topped muffins with some chopped nuts and coconut. Baked 350 for ~22 minutes. Perfect!
Reduced oil to 1 TBL plus 1/2 cup applesauce. Added 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Used 1 whole and 1 egg white. 1 cup chopped pecans. 3 bananas.
These are delicious! Mine rose really well, I baked at 360 and added a tiny bit more baking soda to a double batch just in case. I didn’t do nuts because it was for my daughter’s class. I added chocolate chips instead and they are absolutely perfect! I will be doing this one again for sure. Not too dense but not cakey either. Perfect muffin consistency.
I left out the lemon zest, added more nuts, and used one whole egg instead of whites. Good little muffin
I used whole wheat flour because that’s all I have. For the sugar I used 1/2 c white and 1/4 c brown. I skipped the lemon, and used fat free vanilla yogurt in place of the oil. Since the 6 year old doesn’t like nuts, and the 10 month old, only has one tooth… I didn’t add the walnuts to the batter, and instead sprinkled them on top of half, and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. It made 24 mini muffins (10 minutes) and 2 large (20 minutes). They’re delicious and moist, I’ll definitely make them again!
The riper the bananas the better! I used the larger sized muffin tin and increased baking time to 30 minutes! Wifey loves me!
I substituted applesauce for the oil, added 1/4 cup more chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup more banana, and made a crumbled topping of oats, turbinado cane sugar, cinnamon and softened butter. Came out moist with a bit of a crunchy topping—delicious!
Very good & easy.
Excellent!! I didn’t have fresh lemons for zest so I used lemon juice. Turned out great!! Added extra walnuts and a bit more banana.
Really good! Used whole eggs and FYI, I’d rather have bananas quantified by number, not volume, so I used 4 mashed bananas! Instead of zest, used a squirt of lemon concentrate
This was an amazing recipe! All of the amounts were just right and they came out to be perfect!
I made some minor tweaks to mind using pistachios and pecans and adding a crumble on top but all in all the recipe was terrific
