Eve - they are OMG soooo good! I reduced the Interval times to 15 secs instead of 30 secs cause I didn't want to over mix and they are so light and fluffy. YUM!
Frozzie - only had 130g of choc chips but there were still plenty in each muffin.. the only thing that irked me in the recipe is all that oil!!! but they tasted nice so guess I can put it out of my head. Thanks for the post maddy.
JulieO - how lovely they are. The only thing I will change next time is to decrease the sugar a little. I did already as I added a sprinkling of Demerara sugar on the top before baking to add crunch, but will still use just a bit less next time. Great conversion Maddy, thank you.
I made a batch of these in Texas sized papers for DH's lunchbox (6). Have frozen individually for him to help himself. I only used 80g sugar plus a little demerara to sprinkle on top for crunch.
DeeCat - I made these and my 5 year old who doesn't like bananas liked these.
asha 76 - I can highly recommend these, they were so quick and easy to make and like many TM cakes there is hardly any washing up! I used half dark choc chips and half white. If anyone did want to make them to the original recipe which uses butterscotch morsels, you can purchase them through USA Foods in Melbourne - http://www.usafoods.com.au/p5867/baking-goods/nestle-butterscotch-morsels/
Skain - they were fantastic! I reduced the oil quantity to 95g and added an extra egg - plus about an extra 30g of choc chips! I also only put in 50g of sugar and my husband who is a big sweet tooth thought that they were definitely sweet enough. I made them in the smaller kid size cupcake liners (cooked for 10 minutes) and have popped most in the freezer for lunch box fillers. It made about 35 at this size. I will definitely make these again! Thanks!
djinni373 - made these today using Skain's mods (but not the extra chocolate). They were sweet enough for us with the 50g of sugar. Quick and easy and will be a lunchbox regular here. Thank you Maddy. Also really yummy with Quick caramel custard for a quick dessert.
Tsmacks - These were so good! Added some coconut to! Kids loved them Thank you!
Deniser - I made these yesterday to take on a picnic. They disappeared very quickly and were delicious - even though I only had two bananas in the freezer. Will try the modifications next time plus the correct amount of banana - but they were great just the way they were (I did reduce the sugar as DH is diabetic). Thank you for a great easy recipe.
Rara1 - Absolutely scrumdiddlyumptious !!!
CC - These are just perfect Maddy. Made some this afternoon for DH and DS and they loved them.
amie78 - they are so good! Thanks for the great conversion.
Denzelmum - Made one without choc chips, we all enjoy it too...
Tasty - made these yesterday but wasn't all that impressed with the flavour/texture although they looked and smelt good.
jakodai - they were great.
MamaMix - Yum!!! Just made these, used a bit less sugar and chocolate chips, will try cutting back on the oil and adding an egg next time - because there will DEFINITELY be a next time! Delicious!!! Thanks!!
Yvette - Just finished cooking these YUM.
MelT30 - Best Banana muffin recipe yet! Kids loved them! Normally I get an Oh they were alright response, this time they loved them! Going into a permanent section to keep! Thank You!
kt2 - These muffins are great! I make them for DD to take to kindy. I have tweaked the recipe slightly (to get more fruit into her) I use 4 frozen bananas, 120g of sultanas and 30g choc chips. I also put a couple of choc chips on top of each muffin.
Mills - Made these today using white choc chips and they were amazing.
jo nz - Just made these now - 48 mini muffins!!! That should keep the kids quiet for a few minutes.
YUM!!
Today's batch I added some cocoa with the flour, and used white chocolate chips instead. Just for a change.
Jenmcguire - Well I wouldn't change a thing I think they taste lovely.
evepantany - quick and easy to make and sooooo yummy. Thanks for the great conversion.
Sarahm - Really, really silly question. Do I HAVE to use a muffin liner, or could I do with out it? Also, do you think I could substitute vegetable oil for coconut oil?
JD - You don't have to use muffin liners Sarah, they just present better if you do. Grease your tins well though.
Here's (http://simplehomemade.net/how-to-bake-with-coconut-oil/) some information about substituting coconut oil for vegetable oil - quite OK to do so apparently.
Debbiebillg - I made these with coconut oil (same quantity) yesterday and again today as they vanished quickly ! The kids (and adults) loved them ! Very yummy !
jakodai - as anyone done the pureed apple substitute for the oil in this recipe? I want to have some of these, but I'm trying to watch what I eat, and there's just so much oil. I'm thinking that the sugar would probably need to be reduced if I add pureed apple? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Amy - I'm baking these right now and used some previously mentioned tweaks along with a couple of my own to create a healthier version. I used:
4 bananas
50ml oil
3 eggs
150g wholemeal plain flour + 100g white plain flour
50g sugar
150g combined choc chips, dried fruit and nuts/seeds (I used dark choc, currants and chia seeds)
They are really yummy.
Yvette - I made these this morning and they are they are really yummy.
Lisa70 - made the mistake of not checking if I had all the ingredients first!. I halved the sugar, substituted canola oil for the vegetable oil and then realised I had run out of muffin cases as well!! I was hoping to make a quick batch before school pick up and because I was rushing.. absolute chaos! The kids still loved them so will try again and hopefully it will be a little more relaxed....
dede - These smell great. I am controlling my self not to have one right now (straight from the oven).
astarra - Made 2 batches. Only had 50gm of choc chips so used the mini choc chips as well. Also only used 60gm sugar in each batch.
KarenH - These are just wonderful! Thanks for the conversion maddy! I used only 2 bananas, reduced the oil to 95g, used 3 eggs instead of 2, and only 60g of rapadura sugar. I used caramel choc chips, which were yum! I milled the rapadura to caster sugar first while the TMX was dry, then just added the banana into that and followed the method from there - instead of adding the sugar with the flour. They came out beautiful and light and very tasty. 5/5. Will definitely make again.
Tam - The girls really are really enjoying them and I have plenty to freeze (my muffin liners were HUGE but still managed 21 muffins ). Loved Karen's idea of blitzing the rapadura (I try and use it wherever possible) first as I think the texture would have been lighter if I did this so will try it out next time. I used coconut oil and it worked beautifully. Thanks Maddy for posting!!!

Yummo!

Double yummo
-
They look supurb
-
They sure do.

Hi Eve, thanks for the review. How about popping over to the Welcome thread (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?board=21.0) so that we can all say hi to you.
-
just printed this off, as I have heaps of mashed banana in the freezer.
Thanks,
Robyn

So excited to see banana's price going down. Baking now...
-
...it's good to see!
have been too busy to bake lately, but a I have a few perfect banana'a ready enough to turn into these muffins....thanks for reminding me about them ;)
-
Will be making these too in the near futre, now I can afford bananas again!!!! I must admit have bought them and they have disappared in 2-3 days as its nice to have them in the house again.

I made these last week. My 5 year old who doesn't like bananas liked these ;)
-
Thanks maddy!
I had five bananas to use up, my daughter asked for one to eat and when I ripped it off the bunch, the tops came off all five at once so I had to find something to cook with bananas and fast!
Flicking through my recipe books I came across this one and thought I would check the forums first on the off chance someone had already converted it...what a relief to find it here!
Anyway I can highly recommend these, they were so quick and easy to make and like many TM cakes there is hardly any washing up!
I used half dark choc chips and half white. If anyone did want to make them to the original recipe which uses butterscotch morsels, you can purchase them through USA Foods in Melbourne - http://www.usafoods.com.au/p5867/baking-goods/nestle-butterscotch-morsels/
-
We have some in the oven Mmmmm
-
I was going to make these today but when I looked someone ate all the bananas. Oh well will have to hide them next time.
-
I cooked these last night and they were fantastic! I reduced the oil quantity to 95g and added an extra egg - plus about an extra 30g of choc chips! I also only put in 50g of sugar and my husband who is a big sweet tooth thought that they were definitely sweet enough.
I made them in the smaller kid size cupcake liners (cooked for 10 minutes) and have popped most in the freezer for lunch box fillers. It made about 35 at this size.
I will definitely make these again! Thanks!

Made these again last night.. Yum ad always however normally i put more banana than the recipe but this time only three .. Next time will put more as i prefer the outcome..
-
Have these in the oven.
As usual must be heavy handed, I made 8!!!
H :)
-
Must be those texas sized muffins you hear about...think i make about 15
-
Must be those texas sized muffins you hear about.
Definately Texas muffins ;)
I want to make these again with reduced sugar amount....but the kids keep eating the banana's on me!
-
Kids loved them, no the same size as I use for cupcakes but used muffun paper liners.
H :)
-
Absolutely scrumdiddlyumptious !!!

Thanks maddy for the recipe and conversion.

These are just perfect Maddy.Made some this afternoon for DH and DS and they loved them :)
-
Great news Denise.....did you try reducing the sugar?
-
I actually have bananas in the fruit bowl that the kids havent eaten for once so will make these today..
I also just do them in my muffin tray but normal size ones..
-
Great news Denise.....did you try reducing the sugar?
I was very naughty and used the amount of sugar stated in your recipe Maddy. :D DH and DS have eaten all but two of them already ;D
-
I made these the other day but my cord was under the bottom of my TMX and I added way too much oil. So sadly they tasted like deep fried muffins. I had another attempt today and they are so good! Thanks for the great conversion.
-
Yum, I am making these tomorrow. Got a bag of bananas today for 99 cents.
-
These smell great. I am controlling my self not to have one right now (straight from the oven)

Hi, I tried these yesterday and made the mistake of not checking if I had all the ingredients first!. I halved the sugar, substituted canola oil for the vegetable oil (which I managed to spill all over the thermie, benchtop and floor) and then realised I had run out of muffin cases as well!!
I was hoping to make a quick batch before school pick up and because I was rushing.. absolute chaos!
The kids still loved them so will try again and hopefully it will be a little more relaxed....
-
Lol. Pays to double check you have all the items needed before starting a recipe. I have done this myself a few times and it's frustrating having to stop half way through to go and buy the things you need. Sometime substitutes can be used, but other time it's just not possible without that major component.
Hope it works out better for you next time :)
-
Made one without choc chips, we all enjoy it too...
-
This time using up flake bites, yum..
-
I made these yesterday but wasn't all that impressed with the flavour/texture although they looked and smelt good.
-
I made these yesterday, and they were great. This is a recipe that has been on my to do list for a long time - so it was only right that I did them soon after getting my thermomix!
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d231aed7-f150-7f8e.jpg)
-
They look perfect Amanda! Hooray! Did DS enjoy them? ;)
I might try this recipe one day, but I am still too attached to the banana chocolate chip muffin recipe I always use, since it was the one my mum used to bake for me when I was a child :D
-
White chocolate chips with banana in muffins is really wicked (and I'm not a fan of white chocolate) or a combination of white & dark chocolate....very unhealthy but scrummy.
-
They look perfect Amanda! Hooray! Did DS enjoy them? ;)
I might try this recipe one day, but I am still too attached to the banana chocolate chip muffin recipe I always use, since it was the one my mum used to bake for me when I was a child :D
He did! We shared one after they finished cooking, and we both 'licked the bowl' a little too. I was going to give him one after dinner but he didn't eat his dinner and was too tired and fussy so ended up going to bed instead. He can have one tonight or tomorrow. It depends on whether he eats his dinner!! Lol
It's hard to top mum's recipes. And if you're happy with the one you make, you don't need to change it.
-
Muffins straight out of the oven... still hot and while the chocolate chips are still melty... oh yummmmm! The thought brings back so many happy memories :-))
Licking the bowl is the best part of baking! My brother and I used to share the bowl-licking duty and mum would always leave us each one chocolate chip in the bowl too ;D
A shame he didn't eat his dinner. I bet you were keen for the muffins to be eaten so you could make something else! Or is that just me? :-))
I love muffins warmed up with icecream for dessert... ;)
Yeah, I have a few recipes that I don't think I will ever change. I'm very sentimental like that lol :)
-
Yum!!! Just made these, used a bit less sugar and chocolate chips, will try cutting back on the oil and adding an egg next time - because there will DEFINITELY be a next time! Delicious!!! Thanks!!
-
Just finished cooking these YUM
-
Best Banana muffin recipe yet! Kids loved them! Normally I get a Oh they were alright response this time they loved them! Going into a permanent section to keep! Thank You! ;D
-
These muffins are great! I make them for DD to take to kindy. I have tweaked the recipe slightly (to get more fruit into her ;) ) I use 4 frozen bananas, 120g of sultanas and 30g choc chips. I also put a couple of choc chips on top of each muffin ;D
-
Good thinking Katie ;) ;D
-
Made these today using white choc chips and they were amazing.
-
Just made these now - 48 mini muffins!!! That should keep the kids quiet for a few minutes.
YUM!!! :P
-
LOL Jo ;D ;D
-
They are all gone already. The kids have help from a few friends plus daddy. ;)
-
Well I wouldn't change a thing I think they taste lovely ;D
-
Hi Jen. Welcome to the forum.
-
Thanks for the conversion! This recipe is an old favourite and has been on my "to convert" list for ages!
-
I whipped up a batch of these last night ready for DD Kindy lunchbox - quick and easy to make and sooooo yummy. Thanks for the great conversion.
-
Really, really silly question. Do I HAVE to use a muffin liner, or could I do with out it?
Also, do you think I could substitute vegetable oil for coconut oil???
-
You don't have to use muffin liners Sarah, they just present better if you do. Grease your tins well though.
Here's (http://simplehomemade.net/how-to-bake-with-coconut-oil/) some information about substituting coconut oil for vegetable oil - quite OK to do so apparently.
-
Oh your the best!! Thanks so much!!! I really wanted to make mini muffins for the munchkins, but didn't want them ruined because I didn't use liners.
That link is fabulous, thank you! I'm going to post it on my fB page as I know lots of my friends are like me and not 100% sure how to use coconut oil.
-
Glad to help Sarah.
-
I made these with coconut oil (same quantity) yesterday and again today as they vanished quickly ! The kids (and adults) loved them ! Very yummy !
-
Has anyone done the pureed apple substitute for the oil in this recipe? I want to have some of these, but I'm trying to watch what I eat, and there's just so much oil. I'm thinking that the sugar would probably need to be reduced if I add pureed apple? Does anyone have any suggestions?
-
Hey jakodai ;D I've been thinking about making these (even though I said I couldn't give up my old recipe :-))) and I will definitely be substituting half the oil with apple puree. In regards to the sugar, I will probably take it down to 60g.
I wish I'd made them already so I could give you tried 'n' true information ;D
-
I'm baking these right now and used some previously mentioned tweaks along with a couple of my own to create a healthier version :)
I used:
4 bananas
50ml oil
3 eggs
150g wholemeal plain flour + 100g white plain flour
50g sugar
150g combined choc chips, dried fruit and nuts/seeds (I used dark choc, currants and chia seeds)
Will post how they turn out... hopefully good :D
-
Very happy with the look :D Just waiting for the taste verdict ;D
-
look delicious Amy I love this recipe ;D;D
-
Thanks Suzanne, the verdict is in that they are really yummy :D I have frozen half so they won't go stale :) One day I will make them the original way as a treat for mum and SD ;D
-
I made these this morning yummy
-
Glad this has so many great reviews, as I have just made 2 batches of them for Miss7's end of year class morning tea. :)
Only had 50gm of choc chips so used the mini choc chips as well.
Also only used 60gm sugar in each batch.
Just found some little girls eating them...... ;D
-
These are a firm favourite here on the odd occasion the kids don't eat all the bananas on shopping day. At the moment the bananas are going brown super quick, so we are in luck.
Today's batch I added some cocoa with the flour, and used white chocolate chips instead. Just for a change ;D
I'll freeze at least half of the batch - trying to get the freezer stocked before school/kindy go back.
-
These are just wonderful! Thanks for the conversion maddy!
I used only 2 bananas, reduced the oil to 95g, used 3 eggs instead of 2, and only 60g of rapadura sugar. I used caramel choc chips, which were yum!

Just had to try these! Glad we did. The girls really are really enjoying them and have plenty to freeze (my muffin liners were HUGE but still managed 21 muffins ;D).
LOVED Karen's idea of blitzing the rapadura (I try and use it wherever possible) first as I think the texture would have been lighter if I did this so will try it out next time. I used coconut oil and it worked beautifully.

Awww thanks girls! I really should start taking more photos again, today was the first time for aaaaages ;D Have got out of the knack of doing it but I will try and remember more often. :D
