Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C.
Line a 12-hole muffin tin with 12 paper muffin cases.
Add the flour, baking powder and sugar to a bowl and mix well.
In a separate bowl, mix together the banana, eggs, milk and oil. Add the banana mixture and dates to the flour mixture and stir, being careful not to over-mix.
Distribute evenly among the paper cases and bake for 20–25 minutes, until well risen and cooked through. Cool on a wire tray.
