Step 1

Pre heat oven to 180C/350F. Line and grease a 9x5" loaf tin.

Step 2

Start by making the vegan caramel. Place the ingredients in a large heatproof jug and place in the microwave for 6 minutes on high. Check and stir after 2 minute intervals. Be careful as it will get really hot. It should be dark brown and bubbling. Leave to cool.

Step 3

In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and spices. Add the brown sugar and mix until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl mash the bananas with a back of a fork until well mashed and mostly soft. Add the milk, oil and vanilla.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Pour into the loaf tin and bake for 40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean from the middle.

Step 6

Transfer to a cooling rack and leave to cool.

Step 7

Beat the vegan butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy. When the caramel is cooled, and 3/4 of it and mix again.

Step 8

When the loaf is fully cooled, spoon the frosting on top and drizzle over the remaining caramel!

Step 9

Slice, serve and enjoy! Best eaten same day but will last 2-3 days in an airtight container.
