  1. Great Recipe. I had a bake off with two other co-workers. We passed our baked breads around the office for judging. The bread that I had baked following this recipe was the one chosen by most of the office staff. The general consesus was: "... moist, and not too sweet."
     
  2. This Rum Banana Bread filled our house with a beautiful smell as it baked this afternoon. My husband and I have just had a slice each while it is still warm and thought it was wonderful. Really tasty!
     
  3. I loved this recipe. The rum adds such a nice flavor! I added blueberries to the mix and sprinkled crushed almonds and shredded coconut as a topping which complemented the bread nicely. I'll definitely use this recipe again! Maybe next time with chocolate chips - I always have to change something to make it my own!
     
  4. To start with I do not like banana bread (well not until now) and this is the best. At least the rum makes it interesting and it is more like a cake. My husband loves bananas and rum - so he is in heaven.
     
  5. I love this recipe! The only thing I change is baking time. I bake it for 35 minutes instead of an hour, but I know this depends on what kind of a pan you use. I also vary the amount of bananas and rum depending on what is on hand

  1. I absolutely love this recipe! I made this bread a few different ways. I used AP flour and Bob's Mill 1to1 gluten free baking flour. The gluten free loafs were gifted to my GF friends and received excellent reviews! When baking the GF loaves I added extra sour cream to the mix, this seemed to make the bread more moist. I used 4 large ripe bananas per loaf and vanilla extract instead of almond. I used white sugar in some loaves and natural Florida Crystals sugar cane sugar in others. Personally, I liked the loaves made with sugar cane over the white sugar loaves. The crust of the sugar cane loaves were slightly different, just a personal preference I suppose... This recipe is certainly a keeper!
