Banana Nut Muffins with Cream Cheese Frosting image

I normally dont like frosting on muffins, but a friend of my daughters begged her to get me to make banana nut muffins and to put..and in his words.."tons of cream cheese frosting on them" So I made them for him and although I tasted them minus the frosting (I do not like cream cheese) I was later informed by all her coworkers...
