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 !

[jakodai]

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?

[Amy :-)]

Hey jakodai 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

[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)

Will post how they turn out... hopefully good

Thanks Suzanne, the verdict is in that they are really yummy 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

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......

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 


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!

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.

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  ).
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!!!

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 use 80g sugar plus a little demerara to sprinkle on top for crunch.
