Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with 1 tbsp butter.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp salt until evenly combined.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 3 mashed medium ripe bananas, 1/2 cup melted and cooled unsalted butter, 2 tbsp dark spiced rum, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Step 5: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges are golden brown.
  6. Step 6: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
