Altered ingredient amounts. For my first batch I followed the recipe and thought they were a bit boring. Second time round I added chocolate chips and some cinnimon, much improved. - 15 Oct 2009
Made it healthier. These were great. It's important to let them cool off completely before serving (they refrigerate very well). I made a batch using natural, fat free yoghurt instead of soured cream and it worked fabulously. When the muffins were gone, I used this recipe for banana bread, replacing the plain flour with wholemeal flour. It works, you just have to let it bake a little longer to get done in the middle. I also found that these are great with even less sugar (thought they don't have much to begin with), the ripe bananas do plenty of sweetening. - 15 Sep 2008
Something else. I used yohurt cos didn't have the cream. Felt that they needed a bit of a tang so dribbled lemon icing ontop. I froze some complete with icing and after defrosting in microwave they seemed even nicer. Just had one with morning coffee. Yum. - 11 Sep 2009
