Butterscotch Banana Muffins

These muffins did not turn out quite a pretty as I'd hoped, you do eat with your eyes first. But oh my are they delicious. Banana muffins and butterscotch are such a delicious combination.

I feel like I need to use butterscotch more often, I really like the flavor, but just don't think to use it often. Maybe a I need to do a search for recipes using butterscotch. My oldest would like that since she is a huge fan of butterscotch.
