Preheat oven to 350 °F, prepare pans. Sift flour & baking powder, stir in bran & make a well in the centre. Melt the butter, curry pdr, treacle & condensed milk together. Dissolve the soda in the milk & pour into the dry ingredients with the butter mixture & the bananas. Stir until just combined. Spoon into pans & bake for 15-20 mins or until well risen & golden. Makes 16-18 muffins. Microwave Instructions: Place paper muffin cases into a microwave-proof muffin tray. Just over half fill each case. Place on a microwave-proof rack & cook on high power for 2 1/2 to 3 mins or until no wet spots are visible.

Repeat with remaining mixture. For microwave ovens without a rotating turntable, give tray a quarter turn halfway through cooking.
