Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
Mix in the mashed bananas, dark rum, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the toffee bits and chopped nuts, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
