Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter and lightly flour it.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then mix in 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas and 1 tsp vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon.
  5. Step 5: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture until just combined. Stir in 1/4 cup aged dark rum gently.
  6. Step 6: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Step 7: While bread cools, make the glaze: whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp milk, 1 tbsp aged dark rum, and 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg until smooth.
  8. Step 8: Drizzle the spiced rum glaze over the warm banana bread before slicing and serving.
