Whole Wheat Banana Muffins

This is by far the BEST Whole Wheat Banana Bread recipe ever! And I can validate this statement by my tweaking and re-tweaking....tasting and re-tasting of recipes over the past 10 years.  Finally, a banana bread recipe so yummy and moist that you would have no idea it was made with 100% whole wheat flour.  I'm not kidding, folks....I never kid about banana bread. ** :-] ← Serious face **  And, the second best part about this recipe is that it was so easy to whip up.  I got it done and in the oven during the little's nap time and even had plenty of time to spare, sitting with my feet up, a hot coffee and a good book in hand!  (How does that happen, right?)  Try it out and tell me what you think!  Better yet, invite me over so I can enjoy it with you. ;-)
