July 23, 2017–So this is ACTUALLY the last weekend I will be home for a while and since I had a few items, mainly bananas, that were going to go bad I decided to bake one more thing for the road.
The first is your traditional banana bread made with walnuts. For ease of distribution I decided to make them in mini-loaf pans.
To add a little tropical flavor I looked south…Cuba, Jamaica, Panama, Colombia. Hmm, Jamaica! What makes it Jamaican? To the batter I added dark rum, toasted pecans, sweetened coconut flakes, lime zest, and lime juice. For a little extra island flavor I made a topping of brown sugar, butter, rum, pecans, and coconut flakes.
