My findings: This was a simple and easy recipe to make. I liked the idea of using all whole wheat to up the fibre and perhaps the nutritional value. I almost always substitute apple sauce for most of the oil in a baking recipe such as this so it was nice that the recipe came that way already. I used frozen bananas that I defrosted and then squished in a ziplock bag. I think next time I will try replacing the cinnamon with a lesser amount of allspice or poudre douce and see if it brings out the strawberry flavour more. Also the "giant" part of the name is not true if you make 12 muffins - more an average sized muffin.
