I made this right now and they taste O.K, I would not say they are 'tempting' however. I think for next time i will use the tips on this board and blend the peanut butter and banana-so the taste and flavour can be felt with every bite! Also, would leave out the oats-I think that's what is maing it lack flavour

ive just made them with my friend and they turned out to be a complete disaster, they didnt rise and they didnt see to have any flavour, i think i need to give them another go.

I made the muffins and they came out pretty good. I weighed and measured all the ingredients accurately. A key instruction that I follow carefully is not to over mix. They looked nice, so I took and submitted a photo of my results.

me and derek made these following the recipie also but they weren't fantastic we think we should have SIEVED the flour , so we will try again and probably use self raising flour also ,,

I used self raising flour and it worked really well, they where a hit with the whole family, I also made a second batch and added dried fruit and sunflower seeds as well as the banana and peanut butter, my 2 year old loved them.

I just made this recipe (just left out the oats) and had no problems, but the mix needs to be very thick, or it will come out really gluggy. I also blended the peanut butter, bananas, eggs and melted butter in my blender so it was nice and smooth.

I followed this recipe to the letter, and not only was there enough mixture for way more than 12 muffins, 'muffins' isn't what you end up with. I got stodgy, gluey, horrible scone-like things. They look terrible, taste even worse. I asked my friend to try this in case it was just me, and she ended up with the same. I can only think that perhaps the quantities are wrong on here or something, but I went on Amazon and one of the reviewers had the same problem, so maybe Rachel alone holds the secret to this recipe!
