SO HOW'D IT GO?
I made homemade applesauce by just blending some apples with a touch of water and stevia, and I substituted 1/4 brown sugar in place of some white sugar. There were AMAZING! Sometimes the recipes on this site just don't work out for me but these are a keeper. My whole family and boyfriend loved them, and they are always unsure of my vegan foods XD oh and I used coconut oil (melted in the microwave) for the oil.
Soooooooo good! Followed recipe exactly except I used raw cane sugar instead of white and sprinkled brown sugar on top like others suggested. The brown sugar gives it a nice crunch. Yum! Will definitely make again. (Note: white sugar is not vegan. Raw cane sugar replaces it easily. Use the same amount.)
I substituted chopped pecans and added brown sugar on top from someone's suggestion and these came out beautiful. Very moist and filling.
OOOHHHH SOOOOO GOOOOOOD! The only change I made was to sprinkle brown sugar on the tops before baking...YUMMY and thank you for such a great recipe! :D
Made the following changes: used applesauce for all the oil; added 1 tsp cinnamon, 3/4 cup blueberries, 1/2 C oatmeal, 1/4 C non-dairy milk. Could have used a little more mositure (another 1/4 C milk) and some vanilla. They were a little dryer and plain than I wanted, but the texture was very good! Slight "muffin crust" on the outside! Yum :)
These are great!!! I don't really care for muffins but I had a bunch of bananas I needed to use and I loved these!!! I added chocolate chips to one batch and blueberries to another :D
i bake A LOT. i love the high banana to muffin ratio and the short ingredient list! the flavor is simple and let's the banana shine. the texture is nice. i stretched the batter to 15 muffins. they are being served to preschoolers and they just don't need a giant muffin. this recipe could totally be dressed up with a teaspoon of jam and crumb topping or keep it simple.
i made this as a bread instead of muffins and added blueberries!! super moist and yummy ;)b also used 1/4 c honey instead of sugar.
the comforting feel of fresh out of the oven warm banana bread <333 thanks for the recipe!
ETA: With the raspberries, folded them into the batter just before doling it out to the cupcake papers, so they were pretty much whole.
...made a second batch, substituting about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of thawed frozen raspberries for one of the bananas. Turned out great! Thanks again for this recipe.
