Excellent. I opted to go half whole wheat half white flour -- based on reviews complaining of dry texture. Buttermilk was used in place of milk and lemon juice. I was low on poppyseeds so used 1/6 cup instead which I thought was perfect. Keep an eye on your oven my batch baked in 15 minutes. I was surprised how moist these were. and just the perfect amount of sweetness. These were great with a little pat of butter on top. The recipe is a keeper.
Very good. I added vanilla cinnamon and nutmeg. Made them a bit sweeter and had great flavor. Next time I think I'll add some raisins.
I thought this turned out really well. Instead of putting into muffin tins I made it like a cake in a large pan and cut into squares. It was moist and rich (though for some reason didn't rise a whole lot) but that didn't matter. It was perfect in little squares. It's not sweet.. just right and would make a nice thing for guests. Not being a banana lover it didn't 'reek' of bananas.. it was just right! Thank you for sharing!
I like these muffins for healthy non-sweet breakfast. I used ground flax seed instead of wheat germ maple syrup instead of honey just because I didn't have wheat germ and honey on hand. I added 1 tsp of vanilla. It turned out very good! It is not as moist as I expected but it's still good!
I only tried this recipe because I had some surplus wheat germ lying around and was looking for a way to use it up. And now I think I will never make any other kind of banana muffins again. These are just the best that I have ever tasted. I was actually worried that they might be too healthy - after all they are almost fat-free and very lightly sweetened with honey. But they don't taste like low-calorie muffins (and in fact they aren't any lower in calories than regular muffins though I'm sure they are healthier). I suppose they might not appeal to everyone but if you're the type of person that likes bran muffins try these - you will not be disappointed.
These were good but not fabulous. They were good enough to try again with alterations. Next time I would either reduce the oil or use vegan butter instead. Also I would definitely add something to make them a touch sweeter maybe just more honey or banana. Finally I felt as though the recipe called for too many poppy seeds I would use half that next time. Thanks for the submission every recipe needs individual tweeking.:)
These are an excellent way to start off your day. I am going to make these again and maybe add some blueberries too. This is not a sweet muffin (if that is what you are looking for) but it is very satisfying.
These muffins are absolutely delicious. If you are a fan of very sweet cake-like muffins this recipe is definitely not for you. These muffins have a very heavy bran taste and are only slightly sweet from the bananas and honey. If I serve these to guests I'll probably add more sugar.
The recipe AS-IS is very moist but completely lacking in sweetness or flavor. You can do without one if you have the other... but to have neither? I'm a person who digs the healthy hearty muffins but this was no good. I should have paid more attention - so many positive ratings were to MODIFIED recipes. We'll smear these in cream cheese and honey and eat the dozen but I'll never make these AS-IS again.
