Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and ½ tsp salt until well combined.
  2. Put the bananas, baking spread, sugar, egg, vanilla extract and milk in a separate bowl. Beat with an electric hand whisk until well combined.
  3. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat again on a medium speed until just combined. Fold through the maple syrup and 75g chopped pecans, then spoon into the paper cases.
  4. Scatter over the remaining whole and chopped pecans and sprinkle with the mixed seeds. Bake for 20-25 mins until risen and a cocktail stick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  5. Leave to cool for 5 mins in the tin, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or for up to a week in the fridge.
