I have made these muffins several times now, using standard size muffin tins. The muffins turn out wonderful every time. I used more bananas than the recipe stated; I put the bananas in the blender to make them smooth--to equal 2 cups. I used an electric mixer throughout recipe. I baked the standard size muffins at 350* for 22-25 minutes. The sugar on top isn't even necessary--they are wonderful without the added sugar.

Super Delicious! I left out the chocolate chips because I didn't have any and used extra crunchy peanut butter. I added a pinch of cinnamon but other than that I followed the recipe exactly.

I also put the ingredients into my Livestrong.com recipe index and each muffin (1 of 72) came out at 64 calories each which is right on with Taste Recipes...carbs came out to 8g & sugars at 3.09.

Did anyone try swapping out the butter and replacing it w\/ applesauce or yogurt? If so did it work?

To " Have your cake & lose weight too", Check YOUR math! You are basing your calculations on 36 but the recipe yield is 72!! So their calculations are correct. Great recipe but if you are soncerned, you can try Splenda to substitute for the sugar but I think as others have said, you can even do with less than the cup in the recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":51,"DateRated":"06\/26\/2011 21:09","GUID":"a1aa20ebc346429ab685cc94c16ab377","MemberId":5862452,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"pooh100101","SubmittedDate":"06\/26\/2011 21:09"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":52,"DateRated":"06\/26\/2011 14:54","GUID":"9d036849eac649929d200c83bc454536","MemberId":6059690,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"JoshGuzier","SubmittedDate":"06\/26\/2011 14:54"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":53,"DateRated":"06\/26\/2011 01:10","GUID":"d186d6c6e08c4b3889e1ea308325e126","MemberId":3196939,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Judy","SubmittedDate":"06\/26\/2011 01:10"},{"Comment":"
As a diabetic and an award winning healthy cook I am very aware of calories and diabetic exchanges. I looked at a cup of sugar, a cup of banana, 2 cups of white flour and 3\/4 of a cup of chips and it just didn't seem possible that all that sugar would be only 1 carb serving for 2 cupcakes. I entered the ingredients into Spark Recipe and each of the 36 cupcakes is almost 130 calories, a starch and a fat. I understand this happens sometimes but each mini cupcake is 2 carbs not 1 carb serving as stated. I hope Taste of home double checks the recipe and makes the correction.<\/p>","CommentId":54,"DateRated":"06\/25\/2011 22:43","GUID":"0ac7d4c8a7164607b1339021e6d7c524","MemberId":5038628,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"Have Your Cake & Lose Weight too","SubmittedDate":"06\/25\/2011 22:43"},{"Comment":"
I made larger size muffins and got 20 out of one recipe! I had to keep them in for 5-6 minutes longer, but they turned about fabulously! I thought I was putting way too much batter in the cups, but they don't puff up a ton, so could have put in more and made fewer. The batter was thick like a cookie dough, so I was worried they wouldn't turn out - but they did! Great recipe!<\/p>","CommentId":55,"DateRated":"06\/25\/2011 13:51","GUID":"02aadd1243c946fb9ecf58078802daca","MemberId":4299733,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jshanses","SubmittedDate":"06\/25\/2011 13:51"},{"Comment":"
