Re: Nearly a full serving of fruit in two muffins!
I bet you could use sugar substitute if you were concerned about the amount of sugar. I think that the carbs are overshadowed by the fact that this recipe uses cheap fruit that would not be edible otherwise and a reasonably sized serving of muffins actually delivers an appreciable amount of fruit. The mashed banana alone nearly equals the volume of the dry ingredients!
Two of these, a glass of milk, and a small handful of nuts and raisins, and you've had breakfast. The original recipe put the nuts into the muffins, but we have no-crunchy-things-in-my-food-ers in our house.
