Place dates and water in a small saucepan on the heat and bring to boil. Take off the heat and add 1 teaspoon of bicarb soda. Let it sit to cool down. Mix flour, Chia bran, coconut, cinnamon and bicarb soda in a bowl. Beat the bananas, eggs, oil, honey and vanilla in another mixing bowl. Mix all mixture and fold together. Place mixture into a muffin tin. Bake in a pre-heated oven 170 – 180°C for around 30 – 40 minutes or until firm to touch. Once cooked, place on a wire rack to cool slightly. Top with strawberries or seasonal fresh fruit.
