These muffins turned out great despite my short-cuts! I haven't hand mixed any kind of dough for years. I softened the butter, cut a banana in four pieces and threw all the muffin ingredients together in my handy dandy kitchen machine. In thirty seconds I was ready to fill muffin cups. I didn't make the strawberry butter, as I prefer a plain muffin without any topping. Thanks for the recipe. I plan on making another batch tomorrow.
