Sounded good, but they were very disappointing. Poor color and didn't rise nearly enough. They stayed pasty, even when baked beyond given time. The recipe needs more something, or maybe just less bran. The topping was not a hit, nor gave any pizzaz. Finally threw them out. Would not make this recipe again. Not worth the effort and time.

These are a regular staple around our house for using up those ripe bananas! Healthy and not too sweet. We add some mini chocolate chips to help entice the kids to try them. They also freeze well (wrap individually in plastic wrap; defrost in microwave), making it easy to grab a good breakfast for the road.

Made these this morning for my children. The recipe yielded more than a dozen muffins, so I put the remaining batter in a small loaf pan. I also sprinkled homemade, organic granola on top of the muffins instead of the nuts this recipe calls for. The kids seemed to really enjoy them.
