Comments
Tasters of the Banana Oatmeal Muffins all agreed that the flavor was good, but the muffins were a little dry. When I have made this recipe along with the Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread to have taste-off events, the Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread always wins! What can we do to better the Banana Oatmeal Bread/Muffin recipe and make it moister?
This recipe was a HUGE hit at our local library where they were served during Pre-K story time! I made mini muffins and did substitute water for the milk. Most toddlers came back for seconds, and the most darling 1 year old kept asking for more after two. Many of my printed recipes were taken by caregivers who stated this was a snack they would make at home since their child enjoyed it so much! 10/10

We have made these a few times....girls really like them as muffins or bread, best part is they are healthy, few ingredients I always have on hand, and so quick to cook!
