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!

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!
