This is a great recipe when you have the urge to bake and need something sweet. I adjusted this recipe from another sparkuser to be whole wheat and with the addition of wheat bran, these tasty little cakes give you some fiber and protein as well. It's very important to use bananas that have turned brown and then been frozen, which adds so much to the banana flavor and sweetness of the muffins. They were so sweet that I'll actually cut back on the quarter cup of brown sugar next time around. The lemon peel is a nice touch, but if you don't have it in your kitchen, don't go running out to buy some. You could also add chocolate or carob chips instead of raisins, but c'mon! Maybe a dash of cinnamon? It's a deliciously banana-y canvas of the imagination. And under 100 calories each. Yay!
