Very good muffins! I didn't have any zuch so I used carrot, 1c of whole wheat flour+1/2c bread flour, homemade applesauce+some olive oil for the butter and some ground flax seed and a couple sprinkles of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. They cooked up perfectly and will be wonderful grab and go snacks for me. Thanks!

    I saw the recipe that was a version of this one, called zucchini banana muffins. Went with this one because I felt like the instructions were a little clearer about matching the quantities of banana and zucchini. I had only two bananas for 1 cup of banana and the zucchini I had came to 1 1/2 cup shredded so that is what I used. i then used 2 T. canola oil and 1/2 cup of applesauce instead of butter. And I added 1 t cinnamon and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips because my son adores banana chocolate chip muffins. I left mine a little larger and got a dozen muffins and they are all gone, save one, a scant 5 hours later. So that is an excellent review. Nice moist texture. Excellent taste and I like oatmeal in baked goods. Used old-fashioned oatmeal and worked fine. I believe I will make this again.

    These were good, kids liked them and not too much sugar. Did think it needed a little something, added some cinnamin to second batch and did add choc chips, more a dessert, now!!! P.S. Took them to school for "cupcakes" for son's Val. party, and let them put frosting & decor on them, they loved them and parents asked for recipe!! Thanks

    I made these the other day and they have almost dissapeared! Both my fiance and 3year old love them. I used whole wheat flour just for a personal preferance and cooked them a few minutes longer because of that. I will defintly make these again.
