I made these muffins for our family and they are unbelievably mouthwatering! I did use very ripe bananas and feel that helped bring out the banana flavor, I also substituted flax seeds for the wheat germ. Anyway you make them they are AMAZING!

Did a search for healthy banana muffins & this recipe came up. Just got done making them. They are delish! Not too sweet! I only had fresh blueberries & used ground flaxseed in place of wheat germ (since I didn't have any), & used natural cane sugar. Turned out great! Oh..I also made 6 large muffins instead of 12 reg sized ones. I baked them for about 30 mins but next time I'd check them in 25 b/c they were dark (but maybe b/c of the wheat flour & flaxseed?). Will def make again!!

I had fresh blueberries and bananas in abundance so this recipe looked great....the only thing I didn't have on hand was wheat germ so I substituted oatmeal. They turned out great!!

Tasty! I didn't have wheat germ so omitted it, adding a little more all purpose flour. Used whole wheat pastry flour. Good flavor. Next time I'll add yogurt or buttermilk for a bit of tang, in place of the milk. They were fully baked after 21 minutes.

I really liked these - I used fresh blueberries, and that worked fine. My only suggestion would be to watch the cooking time - mine were probably done in 20 minutes (maybe if my blueberries had been frozen 25 minutes would have been fine?). They have a great nutty flavor, and of course, make you feel good for being a bit healthier. I added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg for a little extra flavor.

FANTASTIC MUFFINS! For an added treat, I sprinkle wheat germ on top of the muffins before putting them in the oven.

Using cake flour vs all purpose made them lighter and I liked the crumb texture better. I used a lemon vodka that I had vanilla beans soaking in for over a year vs the vanilla extract...OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So much flavor came from that.

Delicious!!! Any way you could list the nutrition facts?

These came out great. A good way to use ripe bananas.

I have been making these since the recipe was published last year. My picky eater 4 year old daughter loves them! I use all organic ingredients and have also substituted ground flax for the wheat germ with similar delicious results. They have always turned out perfectly, it's a great recipe, tasty and as healthy as a muffin can get and still be light and fluffy with a nice crisp crunch to the top!

I am so impressed with this recipe. My kids are eating them now nand loving every bite. This recipe is a keeper for sure!!

I should make this!

These are very versatile muffins. I forgot the eggs (can't believe I did that...) and they still taste great! A little dense, but otherwise fine.

Delicious fresh from the oven and also good thawed from the freezer. Great way to have a healthy breakfast on-the-go in the morning.

These are delicious when still warm from the oven. I think I stirred mine a little too hard because blueberry juice stained the tops much darker than pictured here. I recommend them, my husband asked for sugar on top to make them sweeter.

These are so moist and fluffy, and the perfect amount of sweetness. Definitely not the bland and dull muffin healthy is supposed to taste like! This is a keeper.

These were great! Yum!

This is a great recipe !

These are great. I did use low-fat buttermilk instead of 2% b/c I had some I wanted to get rid of... plus it is lower in fat than 2% and there seems to be plenty of fat in the recipe. These are great toasted as well. I was surprised how much my husband liked them.. he usually doesn't like anything with nutritional value! next time I may try to cut down butter a bit... great way to get whole wheat into your diet..

These were fantastic! So moist and flavorful. They will be a regular in our house. Chocolate chips make a great substitution for the blueberries when you want to make a special treat.

Would it matter if I just left out the wheat germ? I don't want to go buy anything extra.

We had these for breakfast this morning. Fantastic!

I did my usual messing with the recipe, cutting the butter farther down, omitting the white sugar and adding a bit more brown, using 1% milk, and adding an extra 1/2 cup of blueberries.

We'll definetly be making this one again.

I made these and they were yummy, great for the kids lunch boxes. They also freeze well. I didn't bother getting out the beater, I combined all of the dry ingredients, then I melted the butter, lightly beat the eggs with a fork, used buttermilk instead of plain milk, combined all the wet ingredients including mashed banana and then added the wet mix to the dry mix and mixed through.

Really really good. This made 12 regular 12 mini muffins. Made it all in one bowl: Beat butter and sugars, added eggs, than bananas in chunks, beat until they were sufficiently mashed, then milk and vanilla. Put all the dry ingredients in at once and only mixed till combined. Yay for less dishes to wash!

Just got done making these and I couldn't resist waiting 10 minutes for them to cool! VERY DELICIOUS!! I also used fresh blueberries and didn't have wheat germ so I used ground flax seed. Will make again:)

These are delish, especially considering how healthy they are. I used fresh blueberries and think you can add in a few more than just a cup. Yum!
