    Without ANY added sugar, these muffins tasted VERY bland. They almost tasted like there was too much baking powder in them. If I make them again, I will add honey.

    This is a great recipe for anyone on Weight Watchers. They are very tasty (add some Splenda for sweeter muffins) and you can subsitute pumpkin for the banana. Really a filling treat, and no fat, no sugar! They freeze well,too.
