Summer muffins

I hate hot weather, but I'm willing to endure it for cheap summer fruit. It makes it all worthwhile when you can pick up three punnets of strawberries for $5 and bananas are a measly $1.99 a kilo (a far cry from the cost during the great banana crisis of just a couple of years ago).

In honour of summer, I present you banana and strawberry muffins. And the best bit? No mixer required!
