Method

Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180˚C, fan 160˚C. Line a 2lb loaf tin with nonstick baking paper. Mash three of the bananas in a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and oil and mix thoroughly to combine.
Add the flour, ground almonds and cinnamon and stir to a smooth batter. If your batter seems very thick, add a splash of dairy-free milk to loosen.
Pour the cake mix into the loaf tin, then halve the remaining banana lengthways. Sit both halves on top of the batter, cut-side facing up. Bake for 1 hr until a thin skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool to room temperature. Dust with icing sugar before slicing.

Tip: Banana bread is a great blank canvas for adding different flavours – try chopped vegan chocolate, raisins or swap the cinnamon for vanilla extract or orange zest.

For a glossy finish to your banana bread, brush the bananas on the finished loaf with 1 tsp maple syrup.
