Great light sweet treat!! I used applesauce in place of the oil and low fat vanilla yogurt. VERY moist! Thanks.

These were just terrific and enjoyed both by me and my non-calorie counting family. In general, my target for baked goods is about 125 calories and 3-4 grams of fat so I made a couple of substitutions. With my very sweet overripe bananas, I was able to reduce the sugar by a tablespoon, also replaced half the oil with applesauce, used non-fat sour cream and 1/3 of the white flour for whole wheat to add a little fiber. The muffins were moist and light and tender and had lots of good flavor. I used mini chips which also help me spread the 1/4 cup of chips around the full dozen. Thanks Redsie, will cerainly make these again.

I needed to lighten the recipe a bit by using Splenda in place of the sugar, 2 tbsp of oil and 2 of applesauce and I used plain fat free yogurt. The muffins were incredibly fluffy and light as well as very moist. I used a cast iron muffin pan in fruit and veggie shapes for fun and to celebrate Fall. Mine were well baked at 20 mins. A real treat.
