Agree these were pretty bland, and I added closer to 1.5 tsp of the spices. I also added toasted almonds. Just ok.

These muffins were good but would benefit from 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of each spice. They did not taste very "spicey". I used yogurt because I did not have ricotta, but I would like to try them again with ricotta because I think they would have a lighter texture.

This recipe is just ok. The muffins rose nicely but were a little chewy and I made sure to not over stir them. I reduced the sugar to 1/4c each but I wouldn't reccemond it, they were quite bland and you could barely taste the banana. With some tweaks these could be pretty good.

We really enjoyed these! However, they stick to paper muffin liners, so make sure you do not use them with this muffin recipe. :(

definitely liked it. i added a little more banana than it called for and i also added cottage cheese since i didn't have ricotta, i also did 1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 a teaspoon of ginger. i will probably add more spices next time i make this, but they are definitely yummy :)
