Banana Bran Muffins with Strawberry Butter

1 2/3 all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon each baking powder and baking soda
1/2 cup firm butter
2/3 cup bran
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 egg
2/3 cup mashed ripe banana
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
Strawberry Butter

Preheat oven to 375F (190C). In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and baking soda. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture is crumbly. Stir in bran and nuts.

In a medium bowl, lightly beat egg; stir in banana, yogurt, brown sugar and molasses. Add to dry ingredients, all at once, stirring just until moistened. Divide batter evenly among 12 medium greased muffin cups. Bake 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in cups on wire racks. Remove from cups and let cool completely. Serve with Strawberry Butter.

Makes 1 dozen muffins.

Strawberry Butter:
Cream together 1/2 cup (125 mL) softened butter and 1/2 cup (125 mL) strawberry jam.

Makes about 1 cup (250 mL).

TIP:
Add a topping treat to your muffins before you bake them. Over batter in muffin cups, sprinkle quick-cooking rolled oats, cinnamon and sugar, sesame seeds or chopped nuts.
