Really like these. Subbed apple sauce for the oil (1 to 1 sub) to make them fat free and Nutritarian friendly. Next time I will leave out the nuts and chocolate to make them even healthier.
Like the idea of all the healthy ingredients ( I am not vegan) but sometimes make vegan recipes. However no way would I consider using 1 tbls. of baking soda....just too much and leaves a very strong taste. Some extra baking powder and about 1 tsp. baking soda might work better. Not the best vegan recipe out there but could be with work.

Just a note these muffins are not sugar free! They may not have any sugar added but they have 42.6 g of carbohydrates which is a lot of sugar per muffin! Carbohydrates are sugar! Especially for diabetics this is very important info. Just be aware not all "no sugar added" is "sugar free"!
The recipe came out great but am I the only one who ended up with (2) trays of 12 muffins each...? I used all the ingredients listed with the amounts listed in the recipe... Anyway the muffins are delicious....
I changed a few of the amounts (only half chocolate chip and half raisin / 1/2 walnuts - substituted dried coconut 1/2 cup and peanut butter instead of peanut oil as I didn't have any. You could easily cut the whole recipe in half as it makes a big batch. I made mini muffins and this worked well as they were moist but very tasty! I was really pleased with the taste and my children like them too.
First rate and delicious!
I think these would have been a lot better to me if I was on a strict vegan diet. Comparing them to regular muffins there was just way to many bananas. I didn't think they were dry cake or soft like a muffin. The centers were more like cooked dense bananas. The add ins saved these. I used 1/2 chocolate chunks and 1/2 milk chocolate chips as it was what I had. I cut the raisins to 2 1 oz boxes and it was plenty. Additionally I subbed flax meal for the seed. I didn't have the seed and didn't want to bite into them anyway. I added a splash of vanilla also to the bananas. I made 1/2 recipe and got 12 good sized muffins. I like that this was egg free made with whole grains and didn't have any refined sugar. However chocolate chips do have sugar. So it is a little mis-leading. I ate about 3 of them and 1 more was eaten. The rest got tossed after they sat and no one ate them unfortunately.
I loved this. It is so delicious and all my friends and relatives loved it too. Definitely making it again
