Banana Oat Muffins

 I didn't take a picture of these, because they just look like plain muffins.  They tasted pretty much like the average banana muffin, too.  They get 4.5 stars on allrecipes, but I would probably only give them 3.  I guess I think an entire cup of sugar is too much, especially when you already have banana in there. I assumed they were healthy muffins, when they are a far cry from that.  Just because they contain banana and oats doesn't mean they are healthy.
