Strawberry Banana Muffins

Here is the lovely pink batter. But get this - Orion didn't like it! ??? This is the first batter he has ever not liked. The kid even likes plain bread batter. So I was not so sure about these.... Pink just in the oven,
and brown on the way out. And yes, I am a sloptastic cook when it comes to muffins!
Final analysis: The flavor was good, but the muffins stuck to the paper. I hate that. I wish I knew enough about cooking to know what would fix that. Orion really liked them warm right out of the oven, but they didn't end up a long lasting hit. I might make them again, but they would be more for me than him I guess. Oh, and it made well over 12 - more like 16.
