  1. Excellent recipe thank you! I made a slightly different version with strawberry and white chocolate, much healthier than the starbucks muffin I love so much!

  2. Great recipe, I baked it this morning and loved it. I think next time I would use two banana's instead of just one so we can get additional favor.
