I found this on Yahoo! health online. Wanted to find a healthy use for some of my aging bananas. It's moist and certainly guilt-free!!!

Wonderful Muffins, thanks for posting!! I did modify the recipe a bit using whole wheat flour, oats, 1/2 cup of applesauce, 1/4 cup of yogurt (could use all applesauce for vegan muffins), and no egg instead I used 1/2 tbs. flax seed ground, I also added in some spices and used natural panela sugar (brown sugar). I ended up using a larger muffin tray and got 6 lovely large muffins, they baked for roughly 35 mins. They turned out wonderfully and I will be sure to make them again!

    lovely mini muffins! I made them to use up a banana, but found it wasn't a "one cup" banana, so I drained a can of mandarin oranges and mashed them in with the banana to make one cup. I used fibre 1 cereal and one large egg and about a quarter cup of splenda. They turned out lovely , nice and moist, tender and tasty! Thanks for posting, I will make these again and again, hopefully with the right amount of banana!

    I made these muffins with some of the substitutions mentioned already - whole wheat flour, vanilla non-fat yogurt and oatmeal for the cereal. I also sub'ed brown sugar for the white, and (I must admit...) threw in a handful of chocolate chips. I didn't have a mini muffin pan, so I made 12 regular sized muffins, so they took about an extra 5 mins. to bake. After tasting them, I found that these muffins didn't need the extra sweetness from the chocolate. (Although it was a nice addition). They were indeed very moist, and had a nice banana flavour. I think next time I might add some cinnamon or allspice, just to jazz them up a bit, but overall, very good - especially for being a generally healthy snack. Thanks for posting this recipe!

    I made this recipe because I needed something sweet, healthy, and not fattening since I am on Weight Watchers. This was a great any time snack and very easy to make. It took me no time at all. Baking took the longest. They are delicious right out of the oven or cooled for a few minutes. Try it if you are a muffin lover.
