Often when I make muffins they turn out tasting bland or have a really dry texture but wow not these banana muffins they were amazing. My kids love these for school and even my husband takes one to work for a snack. If your bananas are really ripe when you make these muffins then consider cutting back on the sugar. The only problem you will have with this recipe is waiting ten minutes for them to cool * grins*
