Place strawberries into a food processor or blender and puree till smooth. Strain puree in a wire strainer to remove all of the seeds. Set aside till needed. (Note: Taste strawberry puree for sweetness. If tart and not sweet add a tablespoon of sugar.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Position rack in center of oven. Spray muffin pan with non-stick spray containing flour.

In a small sauce pan melt the butter and set aside till needed.

In a medium bowl whisk together, brown sugar, egg substitute, vanilla and mashed bananas. Add the melted butter to the brown sugar mix and stir to combine.

In another large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pecans and salt.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir only until the ingredients are just combined.  Gently fold in the strawberry puree. Do not overmix the batter or the muffins will become tough.

Fill Each muffin cup about two thirds full of batter. Fill any unused muffin cup half way with water to prevent warping and over browning of the muffins.

Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Test by inserting a tooth pick into the center of a muffin and it comes out clean, with no uncooked  batter.

Allow muffins to sit 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
