Made these banana muffins last week as per the recipe & they were great, no mention of when to add the vanilla extract so I added it with the oil. However I've just watched the video clip - banana muffins & it appears to be a different recipe: bran flakes, milk, raisins & ginger all appear that aren't in the recipe above! I'd like to know the quantities so that I can try the muffins shown in the video. Thanks

These look so good on the video and are just perfect for an after school snack for my 3 year old. But there is no mention on the above ingredients of the bran ?? so my cakes turned out looking nothing like these ones snd were very wet and took longer to cook. I would love the correct ingredients and re try them!
