Jamaican Banana Bread

This is hands-down, my FAVORITE banana bread recipe. It has a kick, so if you're a traditionalist and like the more mellow banana bread taste, this one might take some getting used to--that said, I love flavors of the Bahamas and Caribbean, so I typically add at least half again the volumes of rum, lime rind, and lime zest to really kick things up a notch. I also knock the sugar back to 1/2 or 2/3 cup, depending on how ripe the bananas are, since they have plenty of sugar themselves to sweeten things up. Enjoy!!!

Fantastic. I made muffins instead of bread. I didn't have any rum or extract, so I just omitted it and added more vanilla. Instead of the stuff you pour on top, I toasted some coconut and put it on top before I put them in the oven. Great bread - will definitely make again!

This is a different twist on banana bread so we had to try it. Really it's worth trying but I enjoy eating other banana bread recipes more.

these are so yummy! I made them into muffins so they are easier to eat and I couldnt be more pleased. only thing I didnt do was the glaze and I added 2 extra T of butter instead of cream cheese since I didnt have any on hand. they are so light fluffy moist and yummy!

With the exception of making muffins, I followed the recipe exactly and was very pleased. Will definitely make again.

Rich flavors make this amazing.

I have been making this for years, and if I don't make it at least every 6 months, my husband wants to know why I haven't! It's great, perfect with coffee in the morning, and when having with friends over, no left over for sure!

The taste is great, I'm trying to figure out how to make it hold together better.

I've tried so many banana bread recipes over the years, some are too dry, some are too dense, but this one is absolutely deeeelicious! My husband, who claims to not like sweets, probably ate half the loaf! This was so easy to make and it rose up so high in the pan. The coconut really gives it a nice surprising taste! The only changes I made was I left out the lime zest and juice (didn't have any) and used lemon juice in place and used only 1/8 tsp. rum ext, (that's all that was left in the bottle) and the bread was perfect. I also didn't make the glaze because I knew he wouldn't like it, actually it didn't need it, the bread is great without the glaze. I'm going to make up a bunch of these and freeze them for use over the winter! Thanks "My Recipes" for sharing your wonderful recipes with us!

Love this recipe! Have made it many, many times. My family's favorite banana bread recipe by far.

I love this banana bread! I made it yesterday and it turned out so moist and for those who don't like coconut, it's hardly recognizable. I love coconut and may add more next time!
