🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 3 pieces Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 2 pieces Eggs, large
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Spiced rum
• 2 cups All-purpose flour

• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and lightly dust it with flour or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter until well incorporated.

3. Mix in the brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and spiced rum. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Slice and serve the banana bread slightly warm or at room temperature. Pair it with your favorite cup of coffee or tea for the ultimate treat!
