Method
- 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.
- Put the bananas, baking spread, sugar, egg, vanilla extract and milk in a separate bowl. Beat with an electric hand whisk until well combined.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
