Barbados Banana Bread Recipe

This banana bread is so tropical, you'll almost be tempted to serve it with a paper umbrella sticking out of each slice. It is a fair bit more work than the standard 6 ingredient North American banana bread, but it may be close to the best-tasting banana bread that will come out of your kitchen.

Instead of the rum, you can use ¼ teaspoon of rum extract, or just omit.
Instead of pecans, you can use walnuts.
