    Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Line 10 muffin tray cups with paper muffin cases. Sift the flour, baking powder and mixed spice into a large bowl. Add the bits of bran left in the sieve. Stir in the brown sugar, sunflower seeds and dates

    Lightly beat the eggs with a fork in a small bowl. Peel the bananas and put them in another bowl. Mash them with a fork and add to the eggs with the melted butter, milk and vanilla extract.

    Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture and stir with a spoon until you have a lumpy mixture. Don’t over mix or you will spoil them.
