Thanks...it looks great

Have you ever used a flavour protien in them? Would using say.. strawberry protien ( i bought 10lbs of it, lol) in them make a major taste difference?

They really are good. The recipe is pretty open to some adjustments according to the feedback that I have gotten. People have added vanilla extract, used vanilla whey, banana whey, chocolate whey, olive oil instead of veg oil, nuts, etc and it the muffins still turned out to taste great. I guess if you know a little about baking you can make some adjustments of your own based off of experience too.

Didn't notice your post until after I made mine. Try substituting strawberries for the bananas...hell, strawberry banana is a great combo too...I haven't tried these with flavored protein, but I think it would still work.

I bet that would be good

Man, banana bread is my favorite. These sound awesome, I'll make some as soon as I start bulking in 18 days.

I'm not a fan of vegetable oils. Could I replace it with butter or another oil?

Definitely. This recipe started from a regular banana bread loaf recipe and I played around with it some. I have used EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) when making these...I think I have used veggie oil too and I don't remember there being a difference in taste.

it says to mix the rest of the ingredients in a diff bowl, you eventually mix them all together correct?

Yup. I haven't made this in about a month, but I think I ended up just mixing everything all at once.

Less than 3 weeks to go before I can try these along with other recipes i've had in my mind for months!

I would love to hear feedback from anybody that makes these. This is one of my favorite sections to check out!

Really great recipe. I'm just learning to cook. I'm good at oats, eggs and chicken, you know the simple stuff. But I haven't ventured into muffins yet. What kind of bananas do you use overripe, greentop or yellow (just ripe)?

bulldog7 · 10-31-2006, 11:04 PM

This recipe looks pretty solid...I'm gonna try this when I go home this weekend. Thanks for the recipe man.

That's a pretty damn good question for somebody that doesn't cook. Overripe bananas are the best as they have the most flavor. Enjoy!

Oh man, that's a great idea! The next time that I make these I'm going to add some semi-sweet chips to a few of them.
