Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 180ºc and line a 12-hole muffin tray with muffin/cupcake liners.
Soak the dates in 1 cup boiling water until soft then puree in a food processor. Set aside.
In the bowl of a mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Beat in the bananas and vanilla. At this point, your batter will split and it will look like you've messed it up. You haven't, just keep going.
Sift together the dry ingredients then stir into the batter.
Fold in the date puree and the pecans.
Stir together the cinnamon and sugar.
Transfer the batter to the prepared muffin tray, filling each muffin liner 3/4 full with batter. Sprinkled over a little cinnamon sugar.
Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before removing the muffins from the tin.
These muffins will keep for 3-4 days in a airtight container.
