Author Notes

When I see a muffin I think of peaceful mornings, a hot cup of coffee, and no sugar to make me jittery. This is a no sugar recipe, but is full of flavor. —AngieWalker

I added chocolate chips, substituted pecans for walnuts and sprinkled with oats, chocolate chips and pumpkin seeds before baking. They were delicious AND beautiful.

alright provisions peeps, we made a slight modification to the recipe. Jude (6), Mark Jr. (13 months) & myself decided to add chopped apricots, chocolate chips and flaxseed for crunch. Worried about the batter being a little on the wet side and lacking in buttery fatty goodness but maybe that's the next recipe mod!

Delicious! Was perusing banana bread recipes and came upon this one. I used maple syrup instead of honey, and almond milk instead of apple juice as I had none in my pantry or fridge. Also added toasted coconut Just because. Um, um , good!

This is a fantastic no sugar recipe. My muffins turned out light and fluffy, not heavy or gluey. Used cake flour (am in Thailand and all purpose flour baking turns out heavy) and substituted almonds for walnuts and cooked, diced apples (at least 1 cup with liquid) for the apple juice and pumpkin. It tasted more like an apple spice muffin (which is really hard to find here!) so will definitely make again.

Delicious, healthy, and flexible recipe! I halved it and used finely grated carrots in place of the pumpkin, cinnamon/nutmeg/ginger/cloves in place of the premixed spice, 100% whole wheat flour (scant measurement) and orange instead of applejuice (+ an extra splash) as it's what I had on hand.
These turned out moist, flavorful and had just the right amount of sweetness for breakfast with coffee this morning. Thank you!

I love that this is so low in sweeteners! i'm going to try these on my 10 month old only with all AP flour and no nuts. If it's a success, then I have his personal cake for his 1st birthday!

I'm sure they can be made without the oat meal. Just increase the flour a little more.

I made these yesterday and they are really good. (Your timing instructions are impeccable!) I reversed the ratio of whole wheat to white flour and added a tablespoon of bran. I also didn't have apple juice so I used milk instead. I suggest that you puree the banana so you don't have banana chunks, and toast the walnuts for great flavor. A wonderful seasonal treat that we'll be having for breakfast all this week. Thanks for a great recipe!

I have a bunch of bananas that are getting to the ripe side of where I like them, and I plan to make these muffins--they sound great.
