In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Put the bananas, beans, vanilla and almond extracts in a food processor and blitz to a smooth purée.
Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients along with the melted spread and egg. Stir to form a smooth batter, then spoon into the prepared tin.
